Vista Resolution Problem

[mayest]

I just installed Vista RC1 on my C2D E6600 system. The graphics card is a 7600GT from Gigabyte. My monitor is a Dell 2001FP LCD. The problem is that Vista installed into 1600x1200 resolution, but it only took up the right two-thirds of the screen. Changing the resolution to 1280x960 makes it fill the entire screen, but I'd like to use the full native resolution along with the new font scaling feature.

I upgraded the video driver to Nvidia's latest (as of today), but that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas what might be wrong? I don't have a driver (INF file?) for the monitor itself. Would that help, and would I download one from Dell's site? Thanks.

Well, no love for my question I guess. Anyway, I just solved it myself.

I loaded Vista, put it into 1600x1200, and then went into the monitor's OSD. It had a choice to reset the positioning settings back to factory defaults. That worked.

The font scaling in Vista is the main reason I have been so interested in it. I have to say that this feature works great. I set the fonts to display at 120%, and now the text is very readable. That setting seems to affect all programs (menus and all), unlike in Win XP, where it seems to just create a mess.
