I'm really hoping someone on here can help me.
I have a Dell XPS notebook which I carry between work and home on a daily basis. I have recently bought a Samsung Syncmaster 226bw monitor for use at work - when I get into work I have a keyboard and mouse on my desk as combined with the monitor it enables me to use it more like a desktop.
Anyway, the problem is that each mornning when I connect my XPS to the monitor etc it only comes up with a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 - the maximum resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050. When I re-install the drivers and then reboot I get the max resolution 1680x1050 no problem at all. The installing of drivers each morning though is becoming a pain in the butt - I have tried several different drivers!!!
Can anyone help?
The native resolution of the Dell XPS is 1920 x 1200.
The native resolution of the Samsung Monitor is 1680 x 1024.

There is a program you can use to manually set the resolution and I presume you can save profiles for it. For the life of me cant remember the name..Power something I think.
