    ^^^ Couldn't set resolution above 1024x768 with windows display manager or nVidia control panel. I even tried (unsuccessfuly) to use powerstrip, but it wouldn't let me create a custom profile. Is anyone else having problems running a 1920x1200 display through DVI with the MBP (15" 8600M GT 256) in Bootcamp 1.4(Vista)?

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Are you sure you have your graphics drivers installed properly?

    Yes, as far as I know. Nothing else is wrong. 1920x1200 works fine in OSX. I'm using the default Bootcamp drivers. What to do :confused:

    It may be a Vista issue. It wouldn't surprise me. Have you tried XP?

    No. I need it to work in Vista, so why bother. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?

    Are you sure this is a driver problem that can't be resolved by doing anything other than getting a different driver?

    This is a widely reported problem, and yes its a driver issue.

    I've yet to see a solution.
