I just downloaded the Bioshock demo and for some reason, it would crash when it would load the second level. So, I saw something on these forums about needing the latest Nvidia drivers, so I went ahead and downloaded them and installed them. I am using a 19" wide screen monitor, so I have been using the 1440X900 res, and it fits my screen fine. After installing the new driver, I switched the resolution back to 1440X900, and now my desktop is longer than my screen is! If i move the mouse all the way to the right, the screen moves over to reveal the far right side, like my whole screen is scrolling left and right. I have no idea how to fix this, anyone here know how??

Nevermind, did a search on google and found the answer. I had to set a custom resolution, like this:


1. NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Manage custom timings.
2. Click both "Treat as HDTV" and "Allow modes not exposed by the display"
3. Click [Create...]
4. Under Custom display mode values:
Horizontal desktop pixels: 1440
Vertical desktop lines: 900
GDI Refresh rate: 60
Bits per pixel: 16
(don't have "Interlaced" checked)
5. Click [Advanced >>] (by the way this is where I didn't go when NVIDIA emailed me)
6. Under "Back-end parameters":
Timing standard: DMT
Desired refresh rate: 60
(the rest of the fields are grayed out)
7. Under "Front-end paramers"
Scaling type: Display (none)
8. Click [Test]
9. Click [OK]
