Moniter Issues:sarc:

Note: I had no prior issues of any nature with the beta Win7

Today I have been reinstalling my machine, updating to the RC.I ran into trouble with the moniter:
I have an Acer 19" moniter, which has an optimum resolution of 1440-900.
After reinstalling, I updated my Graphics Card software, (by the way it's a XFX GeForce 8800GS with 384MB of memory) and restarted, hoping to set my resolutions back to normal, but the system dosen't show 1440x900 as an option, and when I set it using custom resolutions in the nvidia panel, the moniter wouldn't accept it....

What is the problem here??????
I've spent half the day looking for solutions!!!!:mad2:

With the new card it might not support that resolution at a high refresh rate. IE 75mh would not work but the resolution at 60 mh might,

Hope this helps
