Resolution problems with windows 7

hey MS etc... I have a problem. I had my resolution set to native 1680.1050 on my viewsonic vx2235wm for about a year. I run a geforce 8800GT 512mb and I have never had a problem with this in the past.

A few days ago when I tried booting windows it would show bios screen. windows loading screen but as soon as it got to the welcome screen my monitor was displaying no signal.

I reinstalled all drivers thru safe mode and still received the same problem. I can run 1280x1024 resolution fine but as soon as I change to 1680x1050 it displays no signal. I have posted on 100 forums and cannot seem to find  the solution. I even reinstalled my windows 7 and still had the problem with the standard microsoft drivers. I've tried beta drivers also from nvidia.com which were no success.

i'm literally begging now. PLEASE HELP ME

Hi dansexy1,

I went through a lot of third party sites and forums and it seems that the Windows 7 is not compatible with the 1680.1050 resolution.

The monitor manufacturer has not released drivers for windows 7 so wait for few more days until they release the respective driver for windows 7 or you can download driver that supports vista and install the driver under vista compatibility mode.

 Hope this helps you.

You can download the driver from this link: http://www.viewsonic.com/support/downloads/drivers/?prod_name=VX2235wm
