    On my np2960, for some reason, I can only choose widescreen resolutions. Resolutions like 1024x768 aren't available. Anyone know how to make them available?

    I found if resolutions were not available simply quitting out then restarting the game "refreshed" the resolution options.

    Yeah I get that box also, I just ignore it :p , give the restarting technique a try before updating them, should sort you out. Once you are happy with your settings you should never have to worry about the problem again. Good luck

    You'll have to go into the Nvidia control panel (I'm assuming you have an Nvidia card) and create custom resolutions for the resolutions you want to play at. I had to do this recently on my external monitor. It was only displaying my native res.
