HDMI out of range
Computer is running Win 7 Enterprise (64-bit)
I have a dual-monitor set up. My main monitor is a 25.5" Widescreen Westinghouse L2610NW. Im running it on HDMI 1920x1080p (32-bit color) 60hz (its native resolution is 1920x1200, but only if I use the VGA channel, which I am not.) My 2nd monitor is a much smaller HP w17e Widescreen LCD, its at 1440x900 (its native resolution, and is plugged in with a dvi-vga adapter.) The video card Im using is a nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra.
Thats all the applicable information, now here is my problem.
When I unplug, or disable through the windows Screen Resolution window, the smaller monitor, the HDMI monitor displays "Out of Range" on a black screen. Now, I know that this problem is most likely because Windows is applying the native resolution to the big monitor when I disable the little one, but because I'm using the HDMI channel, 1920x1200 is out of range.
I can circumvent these problems by either leaving the little monitor plugged in (which I don't want to do,) or switching my big monitor to its vga channel and using a dvi-vga adapter (which I also don't want to do.)
Id like to run windows in 1920x1080p through the HDMI channel of my big monitor without the smaller one being plugged in, but I can't seem to make this happen.
I've tried booting in safe mode, I've tried changing my video settings in the nVidia control panel, but nothing seems to be working.
EDIT: Corrected some spelling errors.
