    Just bought MacBook pro 17 wuxga. Loaded win7 ultimate via boot camp. Seems to work. Resolution of screen: when I try to adjust, display says 1600x1200 max. Identity of screen: generic PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Why am I not seeing a 1920x1200 option? I hope this is something easily fixed, as I bought this thiing to run win7 at wuxga.......

    PLEASE! Help me

    you must insert the boot camp disc after you install windows in order to install the drivers.

    yea, use your os x install dvd when you boot into windows. start the setup and just click next to everything. It should be fine. note that right clicking is pressing the trackpad with the 2 fingers on windows.
