Hi all,

Perhaps you can help me. I have a Leadtek GeForce2 MX400 SH 64mb video card. I am running Win2k sp2. I just purchased an off-lease Nokia 445xpro 21" monitor (see the MerkorTech thread in Hot deals). I got a problem though. My system won't take the resolution beyond 1600x1200 (any set of colors and refresh rate)!!

I checked all the product specs for both the monitor and the video card. They absolutely say they can go up to at least 1920x1440 (whatever the number is) resolution.

Link to graphics card specs
Link to monitor specs on Tom's hardware site

So here's what I see:
- In Win2k Display->Settings->Screen Area, the bar stops at 1600x1200.
- In Win2k Display->Settings->Advanced->Adapter->List All Modes, it does not list anything about 1600x1200.

I tried downloading the Leadtek drivers, then the nVidia drivers (standard + detonator) - still no positive result.

Any ideas? I appreciate it.

This might seem stupid, but did you configure your Display->Settings->Monitor to show "Nokia 445Xpro" rather than "Default Monitor"?
