PC/Monitor resolution issues after upgrading video card drivers

[RiskyChris]

So I just installed new drivers for my 7800gtx, and suddenly my 22" viewsonic is trying to accept a 1600x1200 input signal instead of the 1680x1050 I generally feed it. In effect what occurs is a stretching of the image, followed by a scrolling of the screen horizontally when I move my mouse.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to fix this issue. I'm losing my fucking mind here, and nothing I can find on Viewsonic's website is of any help.

Edit: It seems to be an issue with forceware 162.18. Such bullshit, >=(

A lot of times Windows Update can pickup monitor drivers.

Correct. Get the 163 beta ones and it fixes it. Or you can set a custom resolution in 162.
