i just finished installing windows 7 and a lot of problems with the new powerdesk, so i got the older beta and finally got everything mostly working except the right resolution, i want to run it on 4098x768 because the current 4080x768 scaling is wrong, because there is space around the monitors past what i see on the monitors. when i switch it to that resolution it seems to put it on two monitors and stretches it thin for some reason, i just upgraded from vista 64bit and im running nvidia 181,71 drivers, win 7 built 7600.

any fixes to this problem?

22inch widescreen acer x223 which can't run at 5040x1050 because of the 57hz thing but can run at the lower resolutions np and i was running it at 4098x768 in vista 64 but i can't seem to get it to work in win 7 64bit.

Why don't you run at 4320x900 at 60Hz? That is 3x1440x900 (3x16:10), and the images would stretch to the right aspect on your screen. 1366 or 1360 x768 is a 16:9 ratio. That isn't the right aspect for your monitors. 3x1440x900 is also a physically larger resolution, allowing for more HUD information in something like an MMO or RPG.

when i change the resolution it makes my middle screen go black and the left and right monitors show the resolutions, i got no idea why its doing that.

i put in 5040x1050 and it does the same thing.

You might want to do a total uninstall/ reinstall. You (anyone) should be able to obtain 3840x1024 with a 19" displays and up.,

I've managed to get 190.38 working at 5040x1050 in Win 7 RTM. I've used the newest TH2G firmware and PowerDesk. I initially set 4320x900 and used that, then tried 5040x1050 and it finally locked in. I've successfully used 5040x1050 in Eve Online so far.

its more or less a scaling thing, my monitors dont go well on 6:9 my old resolution was 4098x768 6:10 which fit perfect. the resolution im running currently is a 6:9 resolution and doesnt fit at all.
