problems with the resolution

[Concker]

Yes I can access nvidia's control panel but in my case there is no flat panel scaling tab.

because you are look in wrong place.

Display, then under display click the Adjust desktop size and position!

I am not stupid, do you see that option?

 

[Concker]

hm. try download the newest driver, or if you have it use an older one.
also try download ntunes.

I have already tried one older driver that certainly has flat panel scaling tab but in my case it was not visible. Maybe the problem is that my monitor is connected via a DVI-converter. Some sources said that flat panel scaling is only visible if the monitor is connected into the DVI connector and for this reason i have tried unplugging and plugging into my 9500GT's other DVI connector but with no result.

I am still looking foward to someone I could give all my rep for solving this issue for me ^^

Installing nTune did not solve the problem unfortunately. Flat panel scaling tab is still not visible for some reason.

I also have this problem and nothing helped me

 

[fek]

If we somehow could manage to see the flat panel scaling tab maybe our problem would be solved. Anyway I tried to install a driver for my monitor, but windows says it needs no driver because it is a plug and play device.

dakifil what monitor do you have? Do you see the flat panel scaling tab in nvidia's cp?

 

[dakifil]

I have anlog BenQ T201WA and I don't seeflat panel scaling tab. I reported this problem ti nvidia and thay said that they will work on it.

Same problem as OP and a few repliers. Black bars, no scaling option. @Concker can you tell us what drivers your using that allow nVidia scaling?

 

[dakifil]

I've found a temporary fix for this problem. You must use old vista drivers. I've installed 178.xx version of Vista drivers and everything is fixed, there's no more black bars...

What is your native resolution?
Oh yes, try this:
Ctrl+Alt+F11

Gle nađoh i Srbina ovde .. Pozdrav brate !! Neg da te pitam ja nesto ovako lepo srpski nadam se da se niko nece buniti... Kakve su ovo cudne rezolucije na windowsu... Imam 22'' monitor i na windows XP rezulucije su klasika od 800*600 pa i sve wide screen koje postoje na dalje do max rezolucije 1680*1050 dok na windowsu 7 npr imam moju klasicnu rezoluciju 1680*1050 ali nema sanse da stavim npr 1400*900 .... mislim to mi je bitno zbog igara, prva rezolucija ispod 1680*1050 je 1360*1024 koju nikad u zivotu nisam video onda 1280*800 ... dok na win xp sam mogao da stavljam rezolucije i manje od 800*600 a na 7 ne mogu ...trip...

im using the 8.15.11.9038 one.

my monitor is benq 22" hd monitor, connected whit dvi.

 

[nicatronTg]

You figure it out then. You and a select few others have that option, we don't.

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

[nicatronTg]

So I guess we can just sit around in windowed mode then? This is really dumb.

 

[fek]

I have figured out that, this problem is related to the monitor because i tried to plug in another monitor and in that case flat panel scaling was available. Someone should figure out that what should one do with his monitor to solve this problem.

 

[Tews]

Donate it to Goodwill ???

 

[fek]

Adding a custom resolution that I would like to use solved the problem. It's worth giving it a try. ^^
