Since this forum is tech support.. I just installed my new video card which supports 1600x1200 and dual monitors. I have both monitors hooked up and working properly. One is the 1600x1200 CRT and the other is onlu a 1280x1024 Flat Panel. The 1600x1200 is my primary, but I've never used it on 1600x1200 as my old vid card didn't support it. When I select 1600x1200 resolution, it doesn't fit properly and makes me scroll around to see everything. (Kinda like when some a-hole posts a huge picture in the forums)

Apparently I need to install the proper monitor drivers for the CRT. I've found them online, but I don't know what to do with them.

It's 3 files with the following extentsions.

.cat
.icm
.inf

Does anybody know wtf I do with this to get 1600x1200 working right? Will I need to burn them to disc to act as a cd driver? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I installed the driver file, but it did nothing. When I go and select 1600x1200 on my CRT it still makes me scroll around to view everything. Hmm.. I have no idea why it's doing this.
