Your 5150 likely does not have a LCD capable of a resolution higer than 1024x768. Thats why you are stuck there.

The multiple monitors thing is normal - those appear because of the SVideo and VGA ports on the back where you COULD attach a monitor.

Hello Andy2503,

Welcome to the Dell Community Forum,

Have you tried to remove the Nvidia Video driver and reinstall it? I suggest to try that first.

Thanks,

Yes I did delete the driver and let it re-install on reboot, but the same problem.

One further thing, on my device manager under monitors, I have 3 monitors: 2 default monitors and 1 plug and play.  I've tried deleting those also, but again they get re-configured.

Hi Matt, sorry to disagree with you, but my 5150 has the 15" screen which according to the manual, is capable of 1400x1050 if SXGA and 1600x1200 if UXGA.  I don't know which it is until I can try the higher resolution.

One further thing, on my device manager under monitors, I have 3 monitors: 2 default monitors and 1 plug and play.  I've tried deleting these, but they get re-configured.

Any further help would be appreciated !
