Hey guys, got a weird one. I played Test Drive Unlimited for a short while on my PC where the display driver crashed twice. After resuming, my native screen resolution is waaaaaay off. Out of the 6 icons I have on the Win 7 taskbar, I can see 2 of them.

Reinstalled drivers, reset the resolution through Catalyst and Windows but no luck.. can't get the latest drivers because ATi website is a pile of crap atm and the entire support section is down.

Any help would great, 22" of 1440x900 looks nasty!

The native resolution of the 22" monitor is 1680x1050 not 1440x900?

Try running Windows Update and installing (if there are any) monitor and graphics drivers.

Yeah, I did that and got it working, installed the drivers and switched my VGA cables around, solved the problem! No idea why my smaller monitors resolution was fine and my main wasn't.. Just threw a tiff I guess.

Cheers for the help =)
