How Do I Fix This Windows 7 Wireless Connection Problem?

Windows 7 Resolution Problem Continued?

• I just upgraded via clean install from Vista-64 to 7-64 and i cant use my monitors native resolution. i have a 21.5 inch viewsonic lcd hdtv/monitor. i have it hooked up via VGA into an nvidia GeForce 8800gts card. i have 2 monitors (the other being a gateway 17' lcd 1280x1024). when i try to use 1600x900 resolution via the "change resolution" option when i right click the desktop my monitor just turns black and says "out of range" although 1600x900 is my native resolution and has worked on XP and Vista. When i choose 1600x900 via the Nvidia control panel, it works, but the left and right side of my screen are cut off. I am currently using 1360x768 and my monitor picks it up fine but when i use the 16x9 with the sides cut off the monitor appears to read it as 1280x960. I am assuming that the monitor is not reading the correct resolution from the computer since it reads it as 1280x960 instead of 1600x900. Ive looked everywhere for answers and all i can find is the problem with the 16x9 not being available at all which i fixed with a simple update. So now i HAVE the 16x9 resolutions but i cant USE them. Very frustrating. Anyone know how to fix it? Answer- Your Viewsonic, if it is indeed an HDTV, should have an HDMI port. It is compatible with your 8800GTS's digital DVI output. Try using a DVI-to-HDMI cable instead-- A totally digital connection like DVI-to-HDMI might work better in Windows 7 than the analog VGA connection you are using now. And make sure you are using the latest Windows7 64-bit driver set downloaded from nVidia's site. New problem- So i got the DVI-HDMI cable and it lets me reach completely higher resolutions. i can display at 1920x1080 but its blurry. the Nvidia software recognizes my monitor correctly but the "native resolution" is 1080p, 1920x1080 according to Nvidia. According to my monitor box however, my max res is actually 1080p, 1680x1050. I can run the 1920x1080 with a refresh rate of 30Hz but not the "native" 50hz. Im still assuming that the computer has no idea what my monitor is capable of. I am also very puzzled as to why VGA puts my monitor at 16x9 and HDMI puts it at 16x10 but neither will display correctly on windows 7. Im noticing tons of resolution problems with people who have 7 and im seriously about to switch back to vista if there is no fix.

• Answer:

  I'm glad to see that the DVI-to-HDMI cable allowed you to get higher resolutions, as I suggested. You need to run Windows at your monitor's native resolution. DO NOT GO HIGHER THAN THAT. If your monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050 and you set Windows to run at 1920x1080, the monitor has to take the 1920x1080 image and SHRINK IT DOWN to 1680x1050 before displaying it, and the shrinkage process causes the image to go blurry. Set your Windows to display 1680x1050.
