Vista x64 and 24" HD Monitor Problem

Hi. I’m running Vista x64 with a 24” wide screen HD monitor with 1920x1200 native resolution. (Check my System Specs for all my hardware.) However, I can only get full screen with 1280x720. Any higher and my screen shifts to the left and I lose about 1/3 to ½ of my available viewing area. Anything on the left side of my task bar is gone, including the Windows (start) button. If I go to my native 1920x1200 res the text is so small it’s virtually unreadable (along, again, with losing a third of my viewing area).
What’s the purpose of having this monitor if I can’t get it to display the full screen with readable text? I’m guessing I must be doing something wrong.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Didn't have any luck with the disc. I Called LG and they said this is a problem with my monitor and they're sending me a replacement. Thanks again for your reply!

Right Click, properties, Personalize... there is an option there to send some of the icons to the other monitor (or something similar), make sure that is not enable.

If it does work, make sure you send back the new monitor... ;) :D
