Re: Resolution Problem

Were you able to set the resolution at 1440 X 900 before you updated your driver?

Have you tried updating your monitor's drivers?

Re: Resolution Problem

Try changing the refresh rate of your monitor to something lower. To do that, right click on your desktop then click on personalize. Then click display settings at the bottom. This will open up a display settings window. Click on advanced settings then click on the monitor tab. Try lowering the refresh rate to something lower. If that still doesn't allow you to set it at that resolution open the same window and untick the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display. Be wary though and check the text written just below that as a warning. But since you were able to do that before it might work. Also, in case it doesn't and the monitor doesn't display just wait a few seconds and it will go back to normal. Hope this helps.

Re: Resolution Problem

Also worth mentioning for Nvidia owners, you can set custom resolutions in the Nvidia control panel if you switch the control panel to advanced configuration.
