Hey here is the fix, it works this way without editing the driver inf file and it works in Vista and Win7. I don't know if it works in XP. Skyline889 you should try this if you need to use HDMI, you describe the problem I had.
Run Regedit & Navigate to:
HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video
Open the folder & check each folder (eg. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{E0CC2030-CCD8-49B9-8267-83140EF868CB} )
Check each sub folder called "0000" until you come across one which expands and includes the following:
>Display
>Settings
>Uninstall
>Volatilesettings
Once you've located this, right click the "0000" folder and select "New" followed by "Binary Value".
Rename the value to:
OverrideEdidFlags0
and hit enter or okay
Next up, you need to right click the new key and select "Modify Binary Data" from the list.
Enter in this info below:
5c 85 80 51 00 00 ff ff 04 00 00 00 7e 01 00
After you enter the info in the value will show as (invalid DWORD (32-bit) value) but this is correct. Reboot and your monitor will work once again. BTW you will need to do this after every driver installation. I have experienced some severe blanking and weird noises from the monitor after some driver upgrades. You might want to connect up the VGA when updating drivers.
I just purchased an ATI video card and I attempted your solution and it doesn't seem to work. I presume it is limited to Nvidia cards. Anyone know of an ATI solution to this?
