    Hi,

    I've got my good ol' 21" iiyama plugged into my VGA socket, but can't get it to do 1600x1200 without xp switching to desktop scrolling, i.e. you only see a bit of the screen but it scrolls when the mouse gets to the edges...
    It works fine at 1280x1024.
    Desktop is set to Extend onto the external display.

    BUT

    The annoying thing is that the other day, i plugged it in after not using it for a while and 1600x1200 WORKED PERFECTLY!!! ...until a reboot, and it went back to scrolling the desktop...

    So it says it supports 1600x1200, and i've seen it do 1600x1200 once, but how do i get it working all the time?

    This is very annoying :-S

    Any tips?

    Cheers,
    Rich.
