Well....I updated the driver and that got me half way there. Once I chose 1680x1050 my screen was grainy and the page didn't fit on the massive screen.
I also was getting an error when everything loaded up...there was supposed to be a utility installed that wouldn't load up.
What did help me out though was it installed a "check for new drivers" tab I noticed when I was looking in properties/settings/advanced.
Once I hit that it loaded up the proper drivers, configuration and everything works.
Thanks a bunch to all you folks for the tech support. I'm not totally illiterate when it comes to this stuff, I just know enough to get in trouble, lol.
As far as the huge screen fistful, photo editing should be nicer for me on the bigger screen for one thing. This is my first widescreen so I'll see how I like it.
Thanks again everyone!
