help needed... resolution nightmare!

[chimp306]

Hi guys.

right, i have a 4890 and im running vista x64 / windows 7

i have got today a samsung t190 monitor which supports a native resolution of 1440x900

however, i cant set that resolution in vista or windows seven, i have tried forcing it through ccc.

having googled it i can find hundreds of threads where people have had similar problems trying to set widescreen resolution but no where seems to have an answer, i really dont want to have to reinstall windows..

any ideas, its a DVI connection, should be doing this automaticly shouldnt it? im wondering if the monitor is faulty.

Hey there.. i dont know that monitor model but i do have a 1440x900 screen that works perfectly in Win 7 and Vista, its 19", Acer. Can you find anywhere in CCC etc. to set the correct aspect ratio? This should be 16:10 I think?

What similar pixel resolutions are visible to you?

Were the drivers/CD that came with it any help, if it had any?
