Ok, first off, I'm new here so hi everyone.
Seems like a great forum for technical help and discussion, and looks pretty 
I've googled, and searched this forum for a fix to my problem but haven't found one so far, so hopfully you guys can help.
A few months ago I got a second hand monitor from a friend, to replace my CRT because I was getting headaches when working. It was cheap (£10) because it's fairly outdated and had a dead pixel, but it was worth it to get rid of the headaches. At the time I was running Vista x86 and I plugged the monitor in and its maximum selectable resolution was only 1024x768, rather than the 1280x1024 that it was meant to be. I couldn't find a fix for this, but managed to work around this by updating the drivers and selecting the "Generic 1280x1024 Flat Screen" in the list of drivers in Vista. This brought the correct resolutions to the list and the issue was solved.
I then had the same issue in Windows XP (x86) and used the same work around, which again fixed the issues. However last week I done an upgrade and purchased Vista x64 and am having the same issue once again. But this time, selecting the drivers in the list does not update the resolutions I can select and I am stuck with 1024x768, which isn't a good enough resolution for the 3D Modeling and Texture working I am trying to do. Deselecting the tick box "Hide modes this monitor cannot display" simply updates the refresh rate box, but not the resolution box oddly. No matter which driver is selected in the list, the list of resolutions is not updated to what the monitor can actually achieve.
The monitor is a Hanton Digimate L-1715. I have contacted the company, but received no reply. I have searched for drivers but cannot locate any (for any OS). I have tried a range of nVidia drivers for my graphics card (7900GTX), however none have worked so I have went back to the newest available set.
I should also note here that I am using a dual monitor setup, with the LCD as my primary display (the one I am having issues with) and a Dell E771a CRT as my secondary. The Dell monitor has no issues.
Does anyone know where I can get software for this, or even just a work around so I can select the correct resolution. Thank you in advance for any help.
