I have a VX2835wm Viewsonice 28" monitor and installed the latest nVidia drivers then rebooted. The resulting screen was extended beyond my monitors borders on the screen. The native resolution of my monitor is 1920x1200. I can't see the desktop icons on the left hand corner nor can I see the the taskbar. The picture becomes sort of distorted (blurry text, not sharp colors, etc) Tried inistalling/reinstalling, rebooted, no difference. When I uninstall the nvidia drivers and revert back to the normal Windows XP Pro drivers everything fits on the screen and is clear / sharp again but no forceware.
Has anyone experience this and was able to fix this issue? I'm starting to think that the NVIDIA sorftware might be thinking that the screen is connected to HDTV..

Maybe you could try plugging in another screen, choosing the 1920x1200 res and then quickly plugging the main one back in? Well its worth a shot lol

Thanks for the reply but I have solved this ages ago. it was a headache but am still using my viewsonic 28" monitor and works fine. The issue is with NVIDIA. Until whenever they resolve this, it's beyond us, however there is a fix to it, which I had to manipulate the the actual .cpl disp settings to have things working and it works like a charm.
