Default Off Topic - LCD Monitor Troubles HELP !

Got my 8800 GTX and decided to buy an Acer 26" widescreen lcd monitor
(AL2616W).
Trouble is that there are no drivers on the cd that came with it. I called
ACER and they
couldn't help me. XP shows it as plug ans play . I can't get the native
resolution of 1920x1600
without some of the picture being off of the screen. Anyone out there have
this monitor and
somehow have drivers for it ? Thanks !

They couldn't find their own drivers. I gave them my email address
so they can send them to me when they find them. Pretty sad that
they sell a monitor but no drivers with it.

Did you do a Windows Update and see if it finds anything?

Try the driver for the 24"...it's the AL 2416 and there are drivers for that
one and should work on yours, just change drivers manually. I have one and
it runs native in the same resolution as the 26" -1920x1200.
