    Recently upgraded my Travelmate 8200 to Vista, but had some display errors in games using the default MS driver (suprise). Finally got around to installing the Acer display driver package today after not being able to find a Vista Omega package, and after a few scary bluescreens got back into the OS fine. Display errors in the games are gone, which is nice, except that I'm only being offered 5 display resolution options - 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x1050, and 1680x1050. The last of these is the only one in the correct ratio for this monitor, and everything looks screwy at anything else. I'm assuming the simplest way to fix this is to change my monitor driver from "Generic PnP Display" to a specific driver, but I've been searching all afternoon and haven't had much luck. Could anyone point me to a driver that will fix my problem, or does anyone have other suggestions?

    Thanks.
