help with resolution

I got my HP LP2475W just a week ago, everything is good, other than the default resolution is 1680x1050, nothing is higher than that(it has a native resolution at 1920x1200). It's a dual monitor setup, Syncmaster 931c is my primary monitor as i would like to play cs on it...Even when I do the add custom resolution thing with 1920x1200,32bit and 60hz, it blurs, sometimes when I screw around those add custom resolutoin options,like add and delete, after a while the 1920x1200,32bit,60hz(native) option pops up, and that is the right one that my monitor uses...everything seems sharp...but after a restart, everything goes back,the monitor still displays at 1680x1050 without any resolution higher than that...my NVIDIA driver is new, i just downloaded it a few weeks ago(old version 8800GTS 512M)...

you are using windows xp right?

yes, windows xp sp3

unfortunately that is the reason, i had exactly same problem with my 8800gt but when i switched to vista/windows7 it was fixed

try to force custom resolutions with powerstrip

but my cousin uses xp sp3 too,he doesn't have the problem,altho his monitor is the better version of mine..

give this a try,

remove drivers, the install latest one again with both monitors connected then set up multidisplays for first time
