My asus vw202 widescreen 20" monitor refuses to go any higher than a resolution of 1024 x 768. It's supposed to go up to 1680 x 1050. My graphics card is an nvidia 7300gs which should definitely go beyond 1024 x 768 - I have friends running higher than this on lower power graphics. I'm using the Asus monitor driver downloaded from their site. I have had the monitor higher, briefly - then it suddenly shrinks the display to half the screen - and refuses to go beyond 1025 x 768. I've returned the monitor once to PC world - where it appeared to work - however maybe this is anintermittent fault. Any ideas ?

Uninstall the ASUS driver and get the nVidia driver instead. your card and monitor is capable of going higher than 1024x768.

Hi,
. Since you checked the monitor on your friends computer and it works fine .You have replaced the video card and there is no joy. The problem can be because of two things .
1. Problem with the motherboard as you have suspected it to be
2. The operating system files are causing some fault with the operating system

Have you uninstalled the video card driver , and checked the monitor on default windows driver. Also on the your motherboard do have the integrated VGA connector.? Try checking it there
It would be a help if you give the model and make your computer. If its an assemebled machine , give the model of the motherboard

Thanks

Try uninstalling the monitor driver. You dont require one. It is supposed to be plug n play. The nVidia graphics card should definitely be able to get you the higher resolution you need.

Hope that helps! Should you have any further queries, please post back with steps undertaken and results.

Cheers!

I am not a computer expert but do i understand you can get it to go higher with monitor on a different computer?
