Resolution crash, can't get it back to normal
So here's another resolution post. I did some looking around but some of these answers are over my head.
I've been running Win 7 for about 2 months, everything has been fine. The connection is a VGA cable into a DVI adapter, I'm using an ATI 4890 card. The monitor is a Westinghouse LCM 22w3.
A few days ago I went into the driver manager to check if there was an update available. Randomly, my resolution went to crap and has been messed up ever since. For whatever reason, Windows will not detect the correct, native resolution of 1680x1050, and I am not even given the option to select that resolution. I'm currently at 1280x960. I also had to make the monitor re-auto adjust to fit everything on screen properly.
I may note, I didn't always have the Westinghouse. I started using some silly Compaq monitor, but it was a smooth transition when I got the Westinghouse.
I have deleted the video drivers, reinstalled, nothing. I have gone so far as to format my hard drive and start with a fresh Windows install, thinking something was messed up. Still nothing. I hope I have provided enough information, help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
