Still having problems with getting this acer AL2223w monitor to display in its highest resolution(1680x1050). I have a dellE1405 with graphics, intel 945GM chipset.

I have installed all my latest video drivers which u guys linked me to in my other post and it still doesnt work, there are no drivers for the monitor it seesm. ive been working for 2 days on this. today i unplugedd and took back to best buy where i didnt end up returning it. so i brought it back home, plugged it in and reattached it, not sure if i tried to reinstall the video driver for the 100th time, but shortly after i re attached it it said windows has detected ur device, restart for changes to take effect, when i restarted i could put it on the max resolution, and then could select even higher ones which it doesn't support. I shut down the comp, and when i restarted it was back where it was, stuck on 2 resolutions 800x600 and 1024x786 ;/

and now when i unlug it, plug it back it and reattached it
i can select a really high resolution like 1900x1200, then i apply it and when i drag my mouse onto the external monitor it says in like 800x600 resolution, but lets me like scroll around, like it becomes a huge desktop at 800x600 and i have to scroll around to see everything lol.... any 1 know whats wrong? 50$ to whoever fixes it lol

go into display properties advanced and the monitor tab untick the hide modes my monitor cant display. this should make windows let you select the setting you want. Going over the monitor resolution will only extend the desktop like you have already found so its pointless just set it to the max Acer state if that doesn't work either your drivers arent installed properly (delete them and re-install not just re-install)or your monitor is duff.
