Question : Problem: Dell Monitor w/ NVidia GeForce fits half the screen

OK I recently formatted a computer, reloaded Windows XP adn began to update the drivers. The computer is a dell dimension 8300.  I used the DELL resource cd to update the drivers.  I installed this driver for the video card "Dimension 8300 / 8300N Windows XP Drivers >     nVidia 128 MB DDR Nvidia GeForce FX 5200   Rev: A00-00"  everything seems to work ok, then i go to control panel display and change setting back to 1024/768  and it only fits on half the screeen..  I really want that old setting back for the display.. It was original,ly set at that resolution, no hardware changes. Any ideas what I could do? Thanks in advance!!! Would love to get this going tonight....

You may have it set to "extend the desktop", and the number of monitors is 1, if you have that option.

I also think the nVidia Detonator drivers will be better for nVidia cards: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_61.77
