Hey Shannon, not sure really if you will be able to help me, but I'm desperate so I thought I'd give you a try. To save having to write out my post again, I'm just gonna link you to the one i wrote earlier, hope ya dont mind :icon_tiphat:

Basically, have you heard of this happening before? Any fixes or driver versions that may work? I've tried modded drivers, beta drivers, the current driver but nothing works. Unable to find a list of older drivers to try :(

From what I understand Vista is not as forgiving as XP when getting EDID info from monitors. I have seen people work around this by going to Rivatuner and then "unlocking" resolutions. Let me know if that helps.

I was browsing the nvidia forums and I have found that this is a common problem for people with 7900/7950 series cards in vista 32 and 64 bit versions. And they all had monitors varying in size so it appears not to be a monitor problem jut a driver issue. Do you know what the earlier driver is for vista x64 that supports 7 series card? I found the 158.45 but they only support 8 series :(
