Cannot display in DVI mode/cannot go above 1024x768 resolution

I have a 8500GT on a Vista HP 32 bit SP1 system and recent current driver
for my graphics adapter from the Nvidia Website. I also have have a 22" LCD
1680x1050. monitor My system also uses the generic MS display driver. I
can run my display in its native resolution using either its VGA or DVI
interface.

I'm sorry, I should've gone into more detail. Yes, I got the lates
monitor driver from the samsung website, as well.

Either way, I've ordered a T240, I figure it must be a hardwar
problem. I've spent long enough on this, I'm no slouch when it comes t
computers but this has frustrated me enough. If the replacemen
monitor/cable don't do it, I'm doing the video card next. I hope i
doesn't come to that.

I'll still appreciate any help you guys can offer, as I'd like t
either dual-screen or sell off my current monitor. Thanks
