Jeff,
I wish I had the same success you did.
I'm currently running WinXP/SP2 (not SP3), not Vista and not Win7.
I have the exact same card as you - nVidia 9500GT.
I'm running GeForceION Driver Release 196.21 [WHQL]
It doesn't bother me that XP identifies the monitor as Default Monitor.
What I'm trying to do is stretch my screen image to fill the monitor
and I'm missing the rightmost inch.
Even though I'm using the nVidia control panel to "Adjust Desktop
Size and Image" there seems to be a hard boundary about 1" from the right edge.
All I can do is move the image but not stretch it.
When I move it the right edge disappears behind this boundary and
items on the right side of my desktop slide under this boundary and
can't be seen.
Are there any controls available on the nVidia Control Panel that
would let me stretch or resize my desktop image?
Or perhaps some free/open source utilities available?
Thanks again,
Mike Resnick

Mike,
I have an Acer P235H, 22" and I control it through the nvidia driver
software. I have XP Pro SP3 and Win7 Ultimate in a dual boot, and it should
work the same way on Vista. Windows sees the monitor with no problem, but I
had to install the nvidia drivers for my two GeForce 9500 GT's to be able to
set the proper resolution, 1900 X 1080 for my monitor. It's perfect. Whether
you have nvidia or ATI drivers you should be able to use them.

Subject: [H] Acer P244W 24" Monitor - Looking for WinXP .inf Driver
I recently purchased an Acer P244W monitor which is now running as
Monitor Type: Default Monitor.
I can not get WinXP/SP2 to recognize it as an Acer P244W.
It did not ship with any WinXP drivers.
I've been googling for hours and all I can find is a Vista .inf file
(on Acer web site and elsewhere) - which Win/XP doesn't like.
I wouldn't mind running as Default Monitor except I can not stretch
my screen image to fill the rightmost side of my monitor (missing
about 1 inch).
I've tries using the nVidia utilities installed on my comp to stretch
the screen image, but no joy.
Does anyone know where I can look to find a WinXP .inf file for this
monitor?
Are there any free/open source utilities that would allow me to
manage the screen image on this monitor?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Thanks,
Mike Resnick
