Both of my Vista systems use the MS generic monitor driver.
What is the version number of the drivers from the Nvidia Website that you
are using?
Have you checked in the Nvidia Control Panel to be sure that Showing all
Modes is enabled?

The strange thing is that I was able to use the resolution 1280x1024 up to
about a week ago and then it suddenly refused to take the changes.

I made no changes to my system, it just started acting this way after a
started one day. I think it has something to do with the monitor dirver as
it
is using the "Generic Non-PnP Monitor" driver.

Graphics Card - nVidia GeForce 6600, 128Mb onboard, using the latest
drivers
from nVidia version 178.24.

I think it has to do with monitor drivers, I am using an AOpen monitor and
cant find drivers for it.

Your Monitor driver is fine.
It is your Nvidia driver which talks to the monitor driver which controls
the resolution.
Since 1280x1024 is not a standard resolution I suspect that you were
using
1024x768 with your CRT monitor over VGA.
It is more likely

Hi

I am unable to set my screen resolution to 1280x1024.

I am using the latest nVidia Drivers for graphics card and the display
is
working at that setting when using XP.

The monitor drivers that I am using is the Generic Non-PnP monitor
drivers
and it does not allow me to select a refresh rate of 60Hz when I change
resolution settings on PC.

OS: Vista Premium with SP1 and all other latest updates.

Please assist as to where I can find the latest monitor driver that I
can
use, I am having a 17inch CRT.

Thanx
