Did you try re-installing the drivers for the monitor?

245BW + 8600 GT are NOT friendly
I recently purchased a Samsung 245BW widescreen monitor to complement my system.
nVidia currently believes it's native resolution to be 1600 x 1200 when in actuality, it is more like 1920 x 1200, thus it spans across the extra 320 pixels instead of displaying it in a true 1920 x 1200 resolution.
This has come to be quite annoying and I would like to remedy the problem as fast as possible.
I have tried uninstalling and then installing the nVidia drivers multiple times to no avail.

I did indeed. I am pretty certain the issue is coming from nVidia as it seems to believe the display maxes out at 1600 x 1200. These new HDCP monitors are so annoying.
go in and create a custom resolution. See what that does.
Attempting... however I am rather unsure as to what values should take place of the back-end parameters.
right click desktop > properties > settings > advanced > (graphics card name) tab > screen resolutions/refresh rates > add button > wait for agreement button to appear > click agree > width 1920 height 1200 32 bit color 60 hz > click add
Unfortunately, I am forced into the nVidia Control Panel which looks a little something like this:

Edit: That is not my settings, just looked up the screen.

have you clicked the basic button?Unfortunately the basic settings still make it do the annoying panning thing. I don't know what posessed nVidia's forceware that my native 1920x1200 monitor is a 1600x1200... I just have no idea.
?? It should save the wider setting you tell it to and put that in the option list?
It does not. Still pans.
does it say that it's displaying in the wider resolution? What is the maximum supported resolution of the card (some are 1600x1200, others are in the 2500 bracket)?
It claims it is in the 1920 x 1200 except it displays in a 1600 x 1200 display with 320 extra pixels to pan across.
The video card supports up to 2560 x 1600, yes. The issue I believe lies in ForceWare and the 245BW requiring it's ridiculous HDCP drivers.

Have put in a call to EVGA tech support to no avail. They say to fiddle with custom resolution settings which seems a daunting task due to the rather confusing layout of them. Any one have ANY solutions?
May have found the resolution to this problem... which makes me despise Samsung.
They send single-link DVI cables instead of dual-link DVI cables with all their monitors, thus making their highest possible resolution 1440 x 900 or so... I am rather angry and will be making calls to their management.
Anyone else get caught by this as well?

That woulod do it. Didn't even think about the dual link- my mom's 19"er came with single link as well, but it's only a 1440x900 display. You didnt mention you were using DVI so i didnt think about links.May have found the resolution to this problem... which makes me despise Samsung.

the only thing I can think of at the moment is going to the lowest resolution your monitor supports, then going up every resolution setting until you get to the one you want. I did that with an old CRT monitor of mine and it worked, however I'm not sure that'll help you.
