My PC is presently set to 128 hex 1024 for a 19" screen.

I want to connect the PC to a 32" wide screen display. The book for the screen says to select resolution of 136 hex 768.

When I try to do this the PC only gives me certain set options starting at 80 hex 600 and few in between up to 128 hex 1024. How do I get it up to 136 hex 768 ?

Video Card is nVidia Geforce 7300LE. Do I need a different card ?

TIA.

According to the specs, the Nvidia Geforce 7300LE should support resolutions up to 2048 x 1536. You may have a driver issue. Have you got the latest drivers? If you have then you might want to ask over at Nvidia's forums.

Hardware, the card came with the PC; I didn't come with any seperate drivers.

Yes, but new drivers are released frequently for older hardware. You just need to the nVidia website and check for updated drivers, download them and install them.

When the card comes installed inside the PC the drivers are typically pre-installed too. (otherwise the card doesn't work.)

I have had a look at the nVidia forum - they also talk about setting up custom resolutions but I cannot yet work out how to do tha. Someone on that forum seems to suggest getting a driver for the display but I have had a look at their site and they don't seem to have one. Drew, I will look for the nVidia drivers as the next step.

It looks like the 7300LE is an OEM card. (It's installed in new computers from companies like HP.) You most likely will need to download the drivers from the system manufacturer's website.

Try going through all the instructions on the nvidia site (wipe current drivers completely, sometimes you need to start in safe mode f8 I think to get them all deleted) then install the new ones. (and restart)
