Lost 1440x900 support [New nvidia driver]

designerluke · 11-01-2009, 07:06 AM

Hey,

I recently updated my nVidia driver a number of times (2-3 times) since I had my 1440x900 support in a particular game.

What I didnt realise it that I'd lost my 1440x900 resolution support without noticing. only recently after updating my driver a few days ago to nVidia driver 1.91 I realised it had gone

My Spec:

nVidia 8800GTX
4GB RAM

Any suggestions how to get my 1440x900 support for games back?

Or anyone know of the Driver for my card that supports it, if nVidia have removed it?

Thanks

Hi you could try using a previous version http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-uk uninstall the present one then install

Thanks, but I'm scared to uninstall my current driver in case it mucks up my computer.

Will it do any damage? and will a system restore allow me to go back after if something goes wrong?

get a copy of the present driver and the new one that way your covered since you can uninstall the new and replace if it is a problem

Thanks, what is the safest/proper way of uninstalling a graphic driver?

Because I go to Display setting -> Graphic driver -> Uninstall?
