Hello please! someone help me with this! I recently bought a nice 19" widescreen monitor but i cannot use it since i have 2 problems with my laptop:
1 - when I try to extend my desktop it works, but the resolution of the main monitor (the one in my laptop) goes crazy... it turns fuzzy even when in display properties it says that i have the correct res. (its a 15.4" so im using it at 1280x800) and the second monitor works but there is my main problem>

2- even when its supposed that my video card supports a higher res. it doesn't give the option to select the 1440x900 res. in order to have my second monitor working in the correct manner

I already spent many hours reading about this and the most useful hint that i had is to upgrade to VBIOS 2.28 or later (from the SIS page) and i tried to find that upgrade a lot with no results so far.. Even flashing the bios to a newer one provided by acer, does anyone knows how to fix that?

my systems is an ACER 5002WLMi > Turion 1.6Gh, 100G HD, 1G Ram, and the #$@% SiS M760GX...

Please any help will be great!
