Nvidia's 96.85 drivers support fewer resolutions

With Nvidia's 96.63 drivers, I can get 1440x900 resolution, which is the
native resolution of my 19inch widescreen monitor. However, in the 96.85
drivers, this resolution isn't supported. Why would Nvidia do this?? They
offer higher and lower settings, but NOT 1440x900. Makes these drivers
useless for my monitor!!

You can use a lower resolution, and still see the correct aspect ratio.
I have also noted that their latest driver does not support 1440X900
here, which is the Samsung's 940BW native resolution. I stuck with 96.33.

Appears to be a nice app - for $29.95.

My 6150LE is running my 19" wide at 1440X900, on the 96.85 driver with no
issue.
