Bad Resolution in Windows 7
Hey everybody,
I'm new to Windows 7. I just wiped my hard drive with DBAN so it was totally clear. I installed Windows 7 and its working great except for one thing; my screen resolution is terrible and I can't fix it. It's currently stuck on 800 x 600 and my monitor is an LG206W capable of 1680 x 1050. Whenever I try to change the resolution nothing happens, it just goes back to 800 x 600. It says my display is a "Generic PnP monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" though so I'm thinking its probably a driver problem but I can't find a Vista or Windows 7 driver for the monitor anywhere. I dont have a fancy video card, it's just an old on-board gigabyte one.
Any advice at all?
Thanks
