Vista wacked my resolution

I recently upgraded my pc from a Opteron 185, 8800 GTX with win xp to a C2D e8500 w/ dual Geforce 260 216's with windows vista.

My monitor is a 28" Hannspree... HF-289HJB.

For some reason my resolution is "off". The native res is 1920 x 1200, but with Vista I lose about a half inch on either side. I only see half of the Start button on the left side and when I maximize a window it falls outside the viewable area of my screen.

I am using the latest nvidia drivers from the websites (as of like 2 weeks ago).

Any suggestions ?

That did it. I had the input set to video not pc.

Thanks a bunch! I was starting to think it was a lost cause.
