Yep... unfortunately, I still do no see any option for flat panel scaling. This is all I see;

Is the SE2209W a Seanix flatscreen ? I have never found so less information using google and se2209W ;)
The reason I ask is because maybe a driver which would telling Windows/Vista that this is a flatscreen would help. Or what might be different is that I connected my graphic card via DVI so that Vista/Nvidia knows from this connection typ that it must be a flatscreen [&:] ???

bernd,

Good catch on the lcd/flat panel as it weird that Ramcat's system shows; ""Move CRT Screen Position".

It is a Seanix flatscreen. Oddly, I've never noticed the CRT bit under the "Move CRT screen position"... I guess my brain just always replaced CRT with LCD. [:'(] But now that I know the problem, I tried finding a driver for my monitor but alas.. I cannot even find one on the official website. Unfortunately, I've also lost my installation disc for this. :(

Well, I bought a new monitor today (not solely for this, but for other reasons [8D] ). It's a LG 22" widescreen LCD, and obviously it was a success seeing as how it's now listed under it's brand/model name in nVidia options (instead of generic pnp monitor) but alas, I still do not see any option for the scaling. In fact, I believe it thinks my new monitor is an CRT because I can still see the "Move CRT screen position" option there. Help. [:(]

Ramcat, I could only find some threads where people had the same issue. Most answers seems to indicate that this happens when instead of the DVI cable a vga cable was used. Are you using DVI or DVI with an adapter to VGA ?

The cord I'm using says DVI but I'm not exactly sure where to plug it in on my tower. There's two plug-ins, one directly into the tower and one into my video card and I'm currently plugged into the former.

Oh dear.

Make sure the cable is plugged into your vid card. [X(]

Heh.. erm... disregard that. What I thought was an empty plug-in is apparently also taken up by my video card (GeForce 260). [:D]

It turns out that cord I was using was not, in fact, a DVI cord... quick trip to the computer store and after dangling around a bit, I can now use the scaling feature and everything works fine. [:'(]
