    Last resort.. asking for help ;(

    Iwe got a zepto 6224w (8600gt) and an HP 22" w2228h external monitor running windows XP pro. Iwe downloaded the newest nvidia notebook drivers, and the HP monitor driver.

    The external screen is supose to run 1680X1050, but the only resolution im allowed to choose is the standard 1490X900 that the laptop screen also runs. The 1680x1050 resolution for the external monitor just isnt there (only the 1490x.. one and some high as hell resolutions which my monitor doesnt run).

    Anyone aware of a fix for this?

    Pwetty please! ;/
