    Are you using the drivers that came with Vista? I had a machine a few weeks ago with a Go7600 and I installed Vista on it; it did not give me widescreen options either.

    Try this . . .
    Download these drivers
    Now . . .
    Double-click the drivers and they should be extracted to your desktop.
    Don't do anything else with them.

    Right-click Computer and hit Properties
    Go into the Device Manager (in the left hand pane)
    Expand Display adapters
    Double-click your video card, go to the driver tab when the window comes up
    Click Update Driver
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Click "Have Disk"
    Browse and go into that folder where the drivers were extracted, select the .INF file in there
    Select one of the GeForce 7600s (doesn't matter which) from the list

    Should be self-explanatory to finish.

    On reboot you should have more resolution options.
