I have an old Dell E1705 that I still use, and I just installed Windows 8 on it, but I have a problem. The laptop came with a Nvidia 7900 GS GO, which is no longer supported by Nvidia or Dell.
Windows runs fine, but using the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter", I can on go up to 1600x1200, where as my display can do 1920x1200.
I've tried the newest nvidia drivers, and the new unified windows 7 drivers for my card, they will install and allow me widescreen resolutions, but windows will crash within a minute or so.
Does anyone know a way to enable widescreen resolutions using the basic display adapter? I can only get 4:3 resolutions.
I only use this laptop for work and web stuff, so the lack of gpu acceleration is ok with me.
