How to set monitor resolution to 1680x1050?

[grofaty]

Hi,
in Windows XP SP2 I would like to set monitor to 1680x1050 - that is the monitor resolution my coworker has on the same monitor.

In Control Panel | Display | Settings tab | I can set 1400x1050 but left/right of the monitor is some black space. But if I set to 1600x1200 then I have a slider.

On my coworker computer there is 1680x1050 resolution, but there is no such resolution on my Windows box.

Regards

are you using the same video card and software drivers for that card?

Download the INF file for the monitor from the manufacturers website, or choose another monitor (e.g. TFT Monitor instead of the GENERIC DISPLAY) with a higher resolution...

Under Display Properties/Settings/Advanced
Adapter tab, is there a List all modes button?

It may be there.

As per Ben's suggestion, does your Monitor have its own *.inf file that you can look at?

Also check for updated Video Card drivers.

Hi,
I don't know what happened. I haven't install any software. I just rebooted Windows and now resolution is automatically set to desired resolution. Strange...
Thanks for help.
