Yes, the optimum resolution on my Gateway monitor is
1680x1050, and I am using that resolution through VGA.
However, the nvidia card I'm using, while correctly using that
resolution
before the crash (through DVI), after the crash would not use 1680x1050
(no matter what I
tried to do) in VGA. Fortunately, I found a forum where someone
suggested removing
two nvidia driver .dll's, which, upon reboot, resulted in a correct
1680x1050
being listed that worked perfectly. Obviously, there is some type of
problem
with the current nvidia drivers, but at least there was a fix.
But, at any rate, you SHOULD be able to get 1680x1050 using VGA, since
it
is working for me. However, the Intel graphics driver may in fact NOT
support
that resolution on your CPU. You might want to try a Google search on
this
problem and see what comes up. It nearly always works for me (except in
the
case of my DVI out problem..still no dice....)

Hi DWB and all of you people
I am taking the box + monitor to the vendor on Friday and hopefully
something will come out of it. In the meantime I noticed that you mention the
DVI and I have to say that the desktop model I bought does not have a socket
for it. I have the unused DVI cable because the monitor came with it
(originally the 22" LCD was not part of the package, the vendor just upgraded
the 19" to a 22" for free). I am just wondering if the resolutation 1680x1050
requires DVI. I am not really in a hurry to start using Media Centre, I just
want to make sure that the package has been assembled properly and with no
faulty parts.
I am not sure if the following (extract from "My Computer Information -
Hardware" in Start-Help and Support-Tools) is relevant. It says that the
driver is not supported.
Video Card:
Model: Intel(R) Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family
Driver: igxpmp32.sys

Not Supported
Thanks,
