Re: Can't set higher video resolutions
They have a 177.79 for vista that looks official and is the one for the card on the EVGA site (it's an EVGA card). But no matter, I have tried the one you mentioned, and all the drivers up to 177.83. I can use 2048 x 1536 successfully on XP, but on Vista, 1600 x 1200 is the most I can get. I have done all the obvious advanced settings options to show all modes. Perhaps someone knows how to do this. Does anyone achieve greater than 1600 x 1200 with Nvidia 8800gts card on vista? This is the basic question. If someone has done it, how did they do it?

Re: Can't set higher video resolutions
I have an 8800GTS; I'm running 1680x1050, with driver version 175.16. If I
uncheck the "hide modes..." setting I can go up to 1920x1080. On the
monitor tab, is your monitor listed as the right one or does it say "Default
Monitor" (or something equally generic)? Maybe you need to update the
drivers for the monitor.

Re: Can't set higher video resolutions
What happen is that after a few support emails from nvidia, I failed to get their solution to work. They suggested a couple of older drivers that didn't show the hi-res modes. I seem to have fixed it by uninstalling nvidia display drivers in safe mode, rebooting into safe mode, cleaning nvidia display drivers with Driver Sweeper, rebooting normally, letting Vista setup the default vga driver, then installing one of the latest drivers, 177.83. This is the first driver that seems to cause my legacy monitor to be detected as generic non-pnp display, not as "viewsonic p815", which is good (I think vista is playing monitor nanny with the P815 and does the 'favor' of returning to the 1600 x 1200 mode.) The hi-res modes are there and working now (unchecking "hide modes..." box is normal procedure and hardly needs mentioning anymore). I thought I had a solution with 177.79 but the hi-res settings did not survive a reboot -- I lost the hi-res modes just by rebooting. The 177.83 driver
is working so far but I am only 1 day into it. It works with my hdtv in clone mode also and has fixed a few problems with that as well. If the settings hold as they are now I am happy camper.
I tried tweaking a new .inf file for the viewsonic p815 with PowerStrip, setting the higher modes, but that didn't work for me.
