I can't get my native resolution
This problem has been going on the quite so time now. This is my 2nd monitor within the year (or so) that this has been going on and it's happened to both monitors. About a year ago (maybe a little less, I can't remember exactly), I saw a Windows Update for my Nvidia GeForce 9600GT drivers. Now up until this point, on my old monitor (oh, and I was using XP at the time), my monitors ideal resolution was 1440x900. After the update, the highest I could achieve without the screen becoming fuzzy was 1280x768. So, about 6 months ago, I had to reformat my computer and when it was finished, the computer was back to 1600x900 but I foolishly installed that same update and was back to 1280x768 again. I just recently got a new monitor and today, I was finally getting tired of the low resolution and so I reformatted again but this time I have Windows 7. The driver disks that came with my motherboard don't work for 7, so I had to search out the drivers. I found the audio drivers fine but I've tried several different versions of the video drivers but none will give me the 1600x900 resolution. Can someone tell me what the heck is wrong? If you need any more information, just ask, but I've given a lot. Sorry this was so long. Oh, and on a side note, this same thing happened to my dad when he installed that same update.
