    Ok, here's what I need.

    I've installed and uninstalled about 4 drivers from laptopvideo2go because of this:

    Either I have the option of changing flat panel scaling in the Nvidia control panel,
    OR
    Hibernation works.

    I have not found a driver that gives me both. Can anyone help here? I am running Vista 32bit. The official dell driver does not give me scaling :(

    Thanks!

    Hmm I'm pretty sure the Scaling is a feature of the BIOS.. have you tried updating a your BIOS?

    Yes, I have tried that. I have my BIOS set to no scaling. This is a different setting.

    In Vista, the Nvidia drivers, in the absence of a setting tellin it NOT to scale, will automatically try to fill the panel. Since I play a lot of games at 1024*768, they look terible with scaling.

    Ok, guess I'll just trial and error when I get home. I know scaling is not a common issue, but it's important to me :D

    Thanks!
