    Hi,

    I have a dell 9400 with a 7900gs and just recently which ever game i load up i.e quake 4, call of duty, flight sim I seem to have lost the capability to select high resolutions greater than 1366x768.

    I used to be able to use 1900x1200 but this or nothing higher than the 1366 is available for selection.

    Please can someone inform me of an easy way to sort this out is it a driver somewhere or a config file that needs changing

    Thanks

    Thanks I am aware of that site, however it is of no help as im sure it much be a config file or something on my computer that has changed as I was able to select higher resolutions in these games before..

    i dont know how nvidias drivers are setup but maybe it has something to do with ur monitor scaling. try and see if u can change it were u get a full screen image. instead of black bars on the side. i dont know if u understand what im saying cause imnot good at explaining things on a keyboard.
