Xerox XA7 19" 1028x1024 resolution not possible with Nvidia Vista drivers for 8800gs

Though I kind of doubt there is a solution at present, on buying a new PC with Vista was frustrated to find that my monitor was unable to operate at full resolution, no 1028x1024 resolution appears as an option. I have the latest Nvidia driver, and on Nvidia forums others are complaining of the same problem. So far I haven't heard of anyone being able to find a work around. Do you think the problem will be fixed eventually by Nvidia and Xerox? Any idea how long this might take? Anything users can do to make their case known? And basically, should I just throw in the towell, sell my monitor, and buy a different brand that works with Vista and Nvidia? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I knew I'd have compatibilty issues with Vista, but a monitor, give me a break.... Thanks

  • Thanks Babb for trying to help. I've got the latest Xerox driver, and the latest Nvidia driver for my brand new PC with an e6600,2gb ram, a 8800gts and Vista. For some reason the highest resolution listed on the PC display control panel (and the Nvidia control panel)is only 1024 x 768, not 1280 x 1024 which is the display's normal resolution, and which is available with Nvidia driver's and XP. I had hoped to figure out some work around but I've combed the net and nothing, everyone with a XA7 19i monitor is stuck in the same situation. Looks like I'm going to have to wait till Nvidia gets their act together. You'd think Xerox would be up in arms, but when I emailed them all they said was it was a graphics driver fault and had nothing to do with them.

Well, if you say you have the latest drivers availble from NVIDIA, have you tried updating the driver for the monitor itself? http://www.xerox-displays.info/driver/XEROX_XA7_DRIVER/XEROX_XA7_DRIVER.zip (the device is in device manager under Monitors i believe) Well aside from that you'll just might have to wait for an updated video card driver! Another question, what is the max resolution that is available on your pc? regards, babb

Video card upgrade Dell Inspiron 530

If anything, it's simply not compatible with your specs. "Vista 32 bit" alone kind of instilled some doubt in me. But who knows, try surfing around Nvidia's site here

You can try their Option 2 to automatically scan your rig and find a "suitable" driver for it, or try the links below on that site "Beta and Older Drivers" and see if any of the other versions work.

The albatron nvidia ge force fs 500 256 mb compatible with windows 7

A quick check to the nvidia web page (www.nvidia.com) revealed that there are no drivers for this hardware under Win 7. While you could try to install the Windows Vista drivers, I would recommend replacing this card with something more modern. There are many entry-level cards in the under $50 range, (best for casual use or low resolutions) and you can do a bit better in the $75-100 range. Try www.newegg.com or Fry's electronics, avoid Best Buy or Staples, etc.

Display resolution decreases unexpectedly. I find that the resolution is set at max but display settings show multiple monitors. I am only using the laptop display. I can temporarily resolve this issue by...

old compaq Notebooks.
running what OS what windows is there, of the 14 made.
my guess XP on up.? the hp data sheet says VISTA.
is it still running VISTA? still have the HP recovery disks>?

all modern screens and GPU chips have many possible resolutions.
this great benefit allows you to run old APPS that only do low (poor)
resolutions, (i can name some if you ask, some old video players)
the only problem using old laptops is the lack of support after 10 long years, and HP ends that. I';d give on finding HP drivers. this old.
and that Vista support ended this year, HP and at MS.
V1000 to V6000 are now retired. see here for proof
THAT being said, i plunder on and try to find the correct drivers
first I attempt to ID that GPU chip, (i have scanner to make that easy but can do that here can I) so i must google to find the data sheets.
step one is what OS, you never said so the job expands or fails.
Nvidia. GeForce Go 6150 , VISTA
the makers (nvidia )web page is tricky,
ill teach you how to use it , and it is there. link below.
drivers, top box click Gforce
box 2 pick Gforce 6 series
box 3 pick your unstated OS/
box 4 you lang.
box 6 all.
click search and then pick newest WHQL driver.
DL it. run it , use it.
bingo?

The resolution on screen is blurred even though the video card is installed. maybe the card needs an installer and i do not know what kind. can you provide me one?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71_2.html

this is the most up to date driver they have available for your graphics card at the moment via geforce if for some reason this does not solve your problem it may be as simple as making sure the resolution you have it config for is available on your monitors spec a good idea would be to google prime res settings for your monitor and finding what is suggested if its a more recent problem though hopefully the drivers will fix it for you

Hope I helped
please leave feedback
Thanks

PC max screen resolution far below optimum of samsung widescreen 2.1" monitor. Can either be adjusted further and how? should it?

I personally doubt you have a 2.1" monitor, since I have only seen 2.1" monitors in cell phones xD. Maybe you were trying to say 21".

Second, try to be more specific. Tell us your OS, graphics card, etc so we might be able to bypass useless questions.

Now to your problem, first of all make sure your graphics card has its latest drivers, if you have ATI or Nvidia card then you should look at their website, or look at your card's manufacturer website. Then, and only then, right click on the desktop and click on preferences (personalize under Vista). Then go to display settings and once there select your resolution. The best setting is usually the biggest resolution that appears on the list, though ONLY if your card got its proper drivers. If not, you will get a bunch of *probably* incompatible resolutions. Hope that helps.
