    Hey all

    I recently just reformatted my computer onto XP.

    I have a Samsung 226BW Syncmaster as my second monitor that requires a 1680x1050 resolution.

    The problem is that SOMETIMES I can set my resolution to that specific resolution, and sometimes I can't and have to run at 1600x1200, which sucks.

    I have updated whatever drivers I can by Samsung and Dell but I can't seem to get it working. It's just that it sometimes works, but when it works, after I restart or my comp it'll stop working and go back to the crap resolution again.

    Does anyone know whats up with this?

    I've looked at this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=199263
    but it hasn't helped. I just don't know how to get it to 1680x1050 resolution!

    My video card is the Intel GMS 965.
    Driver Version: 6.14.10.4926

    I don't know if there is a newer driver than this? I need it to work on windows XP!

    Please help!! Thanks :D
