Available resolutions

[The Gonz]

So I am messing around with Vista behind XP's back and what do I see? Vista lets me play games at 1680x1050 on my 1080P monitor. I can play at 1920x1080 but this res lets me turn up the IQ a bit.

Well, that's weird because XP never did that. SO I look at another game, then another and another and they all let me play at this resolution.

When I log back into XP it is NO WHERE to be found.

Tried looking online regarding this. Found nothing. It must be a driver issue. So does anyone have any ideas to unleash this res under XP? Is it a driver limitation or is XP just being annoying.

I never used it but can't you make custom resolutions using Nvidia's Forceware GUI?

Haven't tried.

Just wondering why XP won't let me do what Vista will.

Well, try this:

- Right click the Desktop, and hit Properties.
- Go to the Settings tab, and then click Advanced.
- Now, go to the Monitor tab.
- Uncheck the box there that says "Hide Modes that this monitor cannot display."

Well, that is for XP. I don't know how it works for Vista.
