Thanks, but that driver is ok and installed already - just downloaded it and rechecked and says al drivers up to date. I believe the problem is with the video card driver.

Well i just uninstalled all ATI drivers and software - rebooted - also reinstalled Dell monitor driver for heck of it. Stayed the same
Tried to reinstall - 9-3_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu but still get error message - on ATI site my card is not on list for winows7 only listed for vista and xp - see thumbnails

thumbs are
1. ATI site - does not list this card for 7
2. ATI site - list my card for vista - and when you go to download - it shows the same driver as for the newer cards, the 9-3_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm - http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista32.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.6〈=English
3. desktop with 1920x1200 with default txt
4. desktop with 1920 x 1200 with 150 txt
5. how txt looks in window on left pane

the version of ATI driver installed now is 8.573.0.0 - and this is the result
still have to stay at 1920 x 1200 anything less does not fill screen, and if I zoom the monitor to make them fit - well that just doesn't work, and defaults after logoff and would have to zoom in again. Anyway it's all very frustrating making me :sick: lol
At a total loss - guess ATI wants me to upgrade card, definately a bug in that driver for this video card.
Thanks for all the suggestions and advice

it's a wonder I could even get windows 7 to connect to it
the monitor is not listed in device manager as dell 2408 - it calling it a generic - when i right click the inf file to install i get error message inf file does not support this method of install - if i install from device manager and update driver it wont install the inf file it just opens as a text file.

update - i had the disc so i updated by selecting disc - and it did the trick - i am posting this before I'm finished - taking forever to install - been five minutes and still loading - stops with time out error - analog or digital - gonna reboot and try again

Hope this works, gettin burned out on this ............

uPDATE - tried it all - remove monitors reboot , all i get are messages telling me that my monitor is fine - and drivers are up to date. times out installing dell drivers, which leads me to believe that the microsoft drivers are same or better, and the problem must be with the video card driver instead.

Will just make due for now - cant upgrade because this system's mother board does not support better card.

If anyone has this video card, and has not had problem using with windows7 please let me know.
trying to narrow this problem down
Thanks

Problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D 1280 X 1024 is the one I have that looks great with default text size. 3rd party programs all look good as well.
1. Microsoft update, I had set for Sundays only, that had a lot of updates for Dell monitors in it. I'm sure that was the problem.
2. I can only change it by going into advanced settings on appearance window and than clicking list all modes under my adapter tab I can change the settings.
I'm a happy camper now.

@Smartyball if you didn't mention WU I never would have figured it out.

Thanks again
