Resolution Problem

Hello,

My sister claims that one day when she booted up her (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) computer, the screen resolution was screwed up (1024x758 is now the maximum possible, as compared to 1680x1050 before). I've had a look at it and can't see anything obviously wrong. I updated the video card drivers. The nVidia control panel also says that 1024 is the maximum.

I tried setting it in the display panel so that all resolutions will be displayed, rather than just what my monitor 'supports', but that still has a max of 1024. nVidia Control panel is having the same problem.

Specs are: 8800gts, Q6600, Acer 22" WS, 4gb ram.

I have no idea what could be wrong, could you please help?

have you tried installing the drivers/colour profile for the monitor from the Acer site?

It was an AL2216W, now I have a BenQ FP937s connected and it is working perfectly, except for some reason the display settings are providing me with the option of 1280x1024 (correct) and 1920x1080 (very incorrect). This makes me suspect it is a problem with the computer, not the monitor, but I'll swap the monitors back over and try installing that driver.
Edit: Connected with DVI
