Post subject:  Upgraded to Windows 7, TH2G no longer works. Argh.

I finally upgraded my beta copy of Windows7.

Unfortunately, my TH2G digital is acting up. I had managed to get 3 screens at the resolution I wanted on my beta copy of Windows7, but I can't seem to get my legit copy of Windows7 to behave with the TH2G.

In PowerDesk Mode Management I can see the resolution I want on the left side of the screen, but I can't select it. There is a check in front of the 3x1440x900, but no box.

The GXM quick setup wants to select the proper 3x1440x900, but it is unable to do so (I get errors stating that it's unable to set resolution).

I'm using a NVDIA GeForce GTX 280 with the 8.17.11.975 drivers (4/3/2010 date) and have the latest firmware for the TH2G, 2.3.40.

EDIT: It seems like PowerDesk is putting 3x1440x900 into the Nvidia Control Panel as a custom resolution, but the custom resolution does not show up in the screen resolution selection menu.

Is there something I'm missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA.

EDIT: SOLUTION:
I played with Nvidia drivers and PowerDesk for hours. After too many Windows updates, I have no idea what driver the graphics card is using. But when I went back to PowerDesk 2.05 GXM/VEOS, I got back the desired resolution!!! It seems the problem is with the new 2.07 version of PowerDesk.
