Since we have nearly identical hardware, I was wondering if your laptop works at something like 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz (or anything above 60Hz). Also, what version of video driver are you using?

Thanks again for all your help.

Windows Vista update just downloaded and installed a new video driver. This fixed my problem! I'm now running my external monitor at 1920 x 1440 @ 85 Hz Yeah!


Thanks for helping me out!
