    Ok, I have a fresh install of XP, installed the latest nvidia drivers using the laptopvideo2go inf hack. Everything appears to work fine. However, I install 2 games and none of them can access the list of resolutions. Medal of Honor: Airborne Setup gives me a blank list in the resolutions dialog, Settlers hangs when I attempt to change resolution. I've since tried an older nforce, and a Dell supplied version R160738.EXE after cleaning the drivers out with driver sweeper.
    Also reinstalled directx a couple times as well.


    Nothing seems to be reporting the supported resolutions of the driver to the games. Any suggestions? I can play MOH:A at the default resolution, but no changes are allowed.
