Does your monitor have a driver ? check in their site and they may have a driver for win7

 

[octhunder]

yes i have install the drivers and same thing..

 

[Maziar]

Can you test some games ? go in the games Video option and check if it lets you to choose 1600x1200 or not

 

[octhunder]

in winxp i can ..but in win7 i can't . i can't evan change the frecv. from 75 hz

Have you tried downloading the latest driver for your VGA ?

 

[octhunder]

yes i tried...

 

[kdhallu]

run dxdiag
check all tabs
do u see any errors in it

 

[octhunder]

i checked it's ok . but at display the monitor is show as generic pnp monitor..but in device manager it's says belinea 10 30 85 / 12 17 02.

 

[kdhallu]

go to bios and reset the settings to factory settings

 

[kdhallu]

this is because of drivers try to download the drivers from nvidia site
i guess u have installed xp drivers on windows 7
did you

 

[kdhallu]

which drivers you have installed currently is the driver version 195.X it the latest one

 

[octhunder]

195.62 and i tried 17x.x and 18x.x :| nothin same

 

[kdhallu]

what are these 17.xx

 

[kdhallu]

i thin ushould remove all the old drivers and try a frest installation of nvidia drivers

make sure you installing the drivers of vista not of xp

coz i did one installed xp drivers on windows xp on 7and faced the same problem

 

[octhunder]

tryed different versions of 170.x 180.x drivers

 

[kdhallu]

also reinstall the direct x may be its direct x problem

 

[octhunder]

i though i f*cked up the windows and i reinstall it with latest drivers and directx is the same :| dunnno why on win xp it works :

 

[kdhallu]

try removing the moniter drivers
because most moniter dont need drivers
or i think the moniter drivers are corrupted
see remove the moniter drivers,remove the graphic card drivers and then restart
and then install the nvidia graphic card drivers

 

[kdhallu]

maybe the moniter drivers are for only windows xp

 

[octhunder]

did than several times

 

[kdhallu]

dont install moniter drivers
install only graphic card drivers

 

[kdhallu]

in device manager is your graphic card displayed there

 

[octhunder]

after i install grphic monitor is installed automaticaly . but if i remove drivers (graphic drivers) the monitor resolution works

 

[kdhallu]

i didnt understand
