I just recently installed Vista. After installing my motherboard and gpu drivers, I went to change the screen resolution. Currently the only 'workable' resolution I have is 1024x768. On a 23" widescreen, it looks pretty bad. The next up is 1280x720, which looks really, and I can't even see everything. The last one is 1920x1080, which when I try to use, gives me a "Mode not supported" from my monitor. :bang head

I can't seem to get a good looking resolution, any ideas? Thanks, and I apologize if this should have gone elsewhere.

where did you get the drivers from?

just go to www.nvidia.com uninstall the old and install the latest.

what model monitor do you have

Were you able to run it at 1080 d before installing vista, because a 23" hdtv sounds like it would only be 720.
