Hi all,

I'm new to this forum so let me introduce myself, my name is Dean and I'm living in Manchester, UK

I have a problem with a new monitor I've just purchased, it's a 22" Widescreen LCD (Fujitsu Scaleoview L22W-3).

This monitor didn't come with any drivers and after speaking to Fulitsu-Siemens on the phone I'm told it doesn't have any or need any. The native resolution for this monitor is 1680x1050 however when going into the display settings this resolution option is not present. I have the monitor's drivers set to Generic PnP. I have a Geforce 6600GT graphics card which I'm assured is capable of running the resolution.

I've updated both windows using Windows Update and also installed the very latest version of NVidia's drivers.

Initially the maximum resolution offered by windows was 1280x1024 however after selecting some different monitor drivers from the ones given by vista I managed to get it upto maximum 2048x1536 (which is still offered even after switching back to the Generic PnP monitor drivers) but there's still no option for 1680x1050 (jumping instead from 1360x768 to 1600x1200 to 1920x1200).

I've been struggling with this now for nearly 4 hours, any help you can offer me at all would be greatly appreciated

Thank you,
Dean
