Hello,

I've got my Sharp AQUOS 1080P LCD TV connected via HDMI to my 7950GX2 in Vista,

the display is capable of a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

I've got the lastest nVidia drivers,

VISTA says, in the nVidia control panel, that my native resolution is 1360 x 768, which is WRONG.

I can STILL put my desktop at 1920 x 1080, but my games REFUSES to go above 1360 x 768,

how can I tell VISTA that my monitor is a 1920 x 1080 DISPLAY ?

No SHARP AQUOS drivers exists...

Everything worked correctly in XP.


Help !!
 
Use powerstrip (http://entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm) and the manual from your TV to write a new INI that includes the resolutions you want to use. Don't even have to pay the $30 for the registered version, because once the new INI for the TV is written you don't need the app anymore, just uninstall it, or better yet leave it installed but not running, so it'll be there if you need it again. Good app over all.
 
Building a drivers with Powerstrips WORKS,

but applying that monitor driver to Vista x64 doesn't,

Vista tells me "make sur this is a x64 driver" or something like that..
 
...no idea there. I've only had experience with 32 bit Vista, which I hated, hence still running XP SP2. Powerstrip claims 64 bit Vista compatibility, so I might email them if I were you with the exact error, as something is wrong or (no offense meant) you're doing it wrong.

Is it like one of those stupid certification dialogs, where you have the option to "continue anyway" or similar?
 
I'm pretty sure it's not user related...

Powerstrips works great, overall, with Vista x64,

I can customize everything, and save as a drivers,

but when I ask VISTA to USE that drivers, it says "make sur this driver is compatible with the x64 version of Vista" etc. etc. etc..

No prompt to "Continue" either ...

ohhh well,

thanks anyway :p
