Not many Resolutions

For some reason my 22in benQ lcd monitor isnt showing any widsecreen resolutions it actually fits with bein to fat or to skinny im pretty sure 1680x1050 is the native resolution for a 22in. It diesnt show this resolution anywere for the desktop or games. Can anyone please help its really annoying me. please

Have you set the desktop res to be 1680x1050 if so then it would be worth looking in the monitor menus to see if you can reset it.

1280x1024 is not a widescreen resolution by the way;-)

if you have an nvidia card river tuner will allow you make resolutions. i know 1280x1024 is a widescreen res (because im on that now) the native res for 20-22" is 1680x1050 (sorry for the bold i accidently changed it and dont knowhow to change it back)

1280x1024 is not widescreen. In fact, it's just the opposite--it's a 5:4 aspect resolution, which is less wide than normal 4:3 aspect resolutions, i.e. 1280x960 or 1024x768.

Are you using XP or Vista? What about unistalling the GFX drivers all together and starting again?

It still doesnt let me pick the correct res even with no gfx installed.

What model number is it? If you can try it on another PC and see if it works

With no video card driver installed, it's normal it doesn't let you. Is the monitor properly recognized by windows (does ist name appear in themonitor settings?)
