Widescreen Nvidia Drivers Problem
Oct 2, 2009
I just installed Windows 7 and installed the latest Nvidia drivers. I can run at standard resolutions but when I try to switch to native wide screen resolutions, my monitor indicates the "input is not supported".
Widescreen resolutions work fine in Safe mode or when the Nvidia drivers are not installed. I have tried using older versions of the drivers but it seems nothing seems to be working.
Is anyone else having this problem?
System specs:
-Windows 7, 32 bit
-nVidia 9600GT (driver version 190.32 WHQL)
-nForce 780i
-Asus AL1916W display

I got motherboard: Asus m2n-mx se plus. Video Card : nVIDIA nForce 6150SE (6100-430), Onboard Audio : nVIDIA MCP61 , D-Link DFE-520TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter .
My Motherboard comes with Vista drivers, but I heard that even that are creating problems for video and audio. Should I download any specific drivers beforehand?

Have an weird issue with Win 7 in the sense of Widescreen support.
I have an 22inch screen and run my games at the native rez of 1680 X 1050
Now the thing is older games like Project Snowblind and NFS:Most Wanted for example doesent support Widescreen as such, obviously. But in XP it seems to stretch the image and run fullscreen without any black edges on screen.
Where as in Win 7 it runs like in unstreched with Black Edges cause of the rez.
In XP even though not in Widescreen res , NFS for example I run 1280 X 1024 it runs full screen stretched, but in Win 7 it runs with the same rez and settings. But doesen't stretch image to rez.
Anyone else experience the same problem or know of a solution. I didin't do anything strange in XP, or change any settings or tweak GFX card drivers.
I tried running in XP Compatibility mode with Win 7, still the same.
I have a Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX card.

I have a 22" widescreen monitor I have set my resolution to 1280x720 and everything is just the way I want it. Except when I open a browser IE8 for example everything is "crunched" not stretched. I'd rather have it stretched, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix this.

The problem is simple, I cant play In wide screen anymore.
I've tested all the resolutions and settings, not working.
I mainly play SOURCE games, and its not working in any of these. and I don't think it works in goldosurce too.
and fyi, it worked in Vista, I have the same hardware and software I used to have, Ive only upgraded to Windows 7.

The other day i installed Windows 7 RC x32 on my laptop with a 1680 x 1050 HD LCD Screen, off course it's widescreen. Now hen i run any 4:3 resolution, such as 1024 x 768 the image doesen't fit the hole screen, leaving one bar at each side.
This only happens hen i'm running Windows 7, i have another partition with Windows XP, and hen i run a 4:3 its goes full screen without the bars.
Alsow i didn't had my Nvidia drivers installed on that partition, i hazen't on my home so i didn't had internet, and i didn't had the drivers neigther.
I deleted that partition with WIndows 7 alredy, i would change from XP to 7 but i would need to format, and i wanted to keep my data. Alsow installing all my games (about 90 gb) on another partition with Windows 7 would be ridiculus.
I would change from xp to 7 if anyone can tell me a fix to this please.

Well, I using a 32" LCD TV as my primary monitor, it runs well at 1360x768 but I got the problem when a game runs in 1024 x 768 or other 4:3 resolution its not possible to stretch the image cause Windows 7 RC put the game in the middle and there are dark areas to both sides of the centered image. Thats really annoying, I never got this problems with 7000 release. Anyone got some idea about this issue? When its a feature, how to turn it off?
Im using a Nvidia 9800 GTX with the latest Windows 7 Beta Drivers from Nvidia.

I've been with windows 7. It's fast, reliable, stable (even RC have been for me) and everything have been working A+ up until now.
This morning when I spent some time on computer before leaving to work, everything worked as they've worked so far. Now when I got back from work some 8-9 hours later, something was terribly wrong. My 22" LCD isn't recognized anymore and thus native resolution 1680*1050 isn't an option anymore. I really don't know what happened. I'm bit confused how it, what ever it is, happened.
My gfx is Geforce 8800GTS.
I've tried to update my Drivers, rebooting, fiddle with NVIDIA Control panel, nothing.

Does win 7 require a 'newer' widescreen monitor for best visual? Everything is so small on screen. And the offered alternative configs. all look distorted. My flatscreen monitor is a 15" screen (33cm x 26cm or 13" x 10").

For some reason I don't have any widescreen options for screen resolution. The black bars on the sides of my screen are getting very annoying. Am I missing something here?

i recently reinstalled win 7, and I have a 7600GT, Pentium D 950 @ 3.5GHZ, 4GIGs of RAM, and a normal HDD, (my motherboard is just a generic Acer mobo that I found in a garage sale). Im having this problem where windows is detecting my monitor as widescreen, and is only showing widescreen resolutions like 1024 x 728. My monitors max res is 1280 x 1024. Which is what im used to. Currently, everything looks like crap. Ive tried new and old drivers for the GPU, and windows update is on. I even tried to force the res, it just wont force it though, it cuts off every part of it expect the top left corner.

I have a GTS250 made by EVGA. When I installed windows 7, it knew it automatically.
I would prefer to leave it alone, but I am I missing out? Will it perform better with the Drivers from EVGA?

I've just installed latest Vista WHQL drivers in the attempt to make it work the TV-OUT mode as on XP.. but no way.
Anyone know how to activate fullscreen video on second monitor?
maybe a register entry?
As for the default Windows 7 online-update drivers, no option.
Any help?

I installed windows 7, but cant do any gaming on it as it only has the default driver for the GTX280 which is absolutely atrocious. Are there any Alpha or Beta Drivers released for Windows 7 so that people can really run it through the mill for gaming?

With widescreen monitors, which are pretty much the standard these days, there is always plenty of horizontal space, it's the vertical space that is at more of a premium. To take advantage of this I've done 2 things - First, I moved my taskbar to the left side of the screen, this gives me that much more vertical space in all programs.
The second thing is program-specific. I use Firefox and I certainly spend more time in it than any other program. I've installed 2 two add-ons, Vertical Bookmarks Toolbar and Compact Menu. They do just what their names imply - the first places my bookmarks toolbar to the left (or right, if you prefer) of the screen, the second compacts my entire Menu toolbar to a small icon that sits in the upper-left corner of the address bar. Getting rid of these 2 horz menu bars gives one a nice little chunk of additional real estate. It takes a bit getting used to, but once you do, it's great.

I have been trying to find Windows 7 drivers for my 8800GT but haven't found anything yet. Are the Vista ones compatible or do I need Windows 7 specific? If so, do they exist?

I'm trying to install updated chipset drivers. I downloaded nForce 680i SLI from the nvidia website. When I run install, it asks me to select what I want to install and gives only 2 choices: nvidia ethernet driver, and nvidia storage driver. Those aren't the chipset drivers, are they?

I've been trying to get my 19" samsung CRT monitor to reach 100hz with windows7, but it seems to be impossible.
I can't find a driver that works for the monitor online, so I made one with RivaTuner, however I can't reach 100hz in resolutions that I know are supposed to get there.
Is this a Nvidia driver issue?
I currently have the latest official one from the Nvidia page.

Long story, starts with my right click starting to lag for about 2-4 seconds whenever it was clicked about a month or so ago. At first it was intermittent then all the time and it affects the right click everywhere (desktop, applications, games). I discover its not the mouse, but I have no way of knowing what it is so I bind the side button next to it to right click and live with it and after about 3 weeks it goes away.
Then my 8800 gts dies while playing COD6 and I order an ATI 5770 to replace it, thinking its toast. While its being shipped I cook the 8800gts successfully in the oven and its back to working fine, but I've already ordered the 5770. Once it comes I uninstall all my nvidia drivers and run driver sweeper in safe mode then install it, but I can't get the ATI drivers or catalyst control center to run for the life of me. I talk with XFX tech support for a few days and I did everything I could before concluding there was no way I could make it work without reformatting so I return the card for a refund.
Now back on my 8800gts for about 3 days the right click lag just started up again after several hours of doing some work on Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. Now the XFX tech supports best idea was that there was something wrong with my .NET framework or C++ redistributable. Now that I've been working in VCEE for a few hours, both would have been used and thats when the right click lag came back so I'm thinking there is an issue with something in one of those. When trying to get the ATI drivers to work I reinstalled .NET framework 1.1, 2.0, and the C++ redistributable.
I'm looking for any ideas on how to fix mainly the right click lag and possibly the ATI driver issue, but I returned the card so that doesn't really matter anymore.

I can't install new drivers. I tried to install the new nvidia drivers and logitech setpoint 4.80 and all I get is the next error message:
"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again" (see attached)
I'm not using any download managers.
I downloaded the drivers with and without firewall or anti-virus, I cleaned my temp directory.
