CRT native screen resolution problem on Windows 7

CRT native screen resolution problem on Windows 7 In my desktop W7 PC with 8800 GTS and latest drivers, I cannot truly change the display resolution as Windows just 'boxes' lower resolutions on the native resolution of 1280x1024x85Hz (e.g. running a 800x600 game displays a centered image of the game with black thick border and the monitor still says it is in 1280x1024).

"I'm not familiar with the standard nVidia drives these days (my last card and the one that will arrive tomorrow are ATIs) but centered/scales/stretched timings when displaying lower-than-native resolutions are an option in the ATI drivers.

I suggest browsing round all the tabs in the nVidia settings to see if you can find a similar option.

It could also be your monitor responding wrongly to the signal timings. Have you tried just using it's horizontal and vertical size+position controls?"
