2007FP Monitor on Windows 7 at Full 1600x1200
I have a Dell 2007FP monitor which was working on a Dell XP3435T under Windows 7 because Windows 7 was UPGRADED from Vista and the Vista driver recognized the 1600x1200 resolution. When Windows 7 crashed, I was forced to a reinstall Windows 7 and now it no longer will run at the full resolution. There are no Windows 7 drivers listed for the 2007FP. I guess I was lucky to getting it running for six months! Any suggestions?

Chris,
Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm not sure how one loads a driver in COMPATIBILITY mode in Windows 7.
Also, the driver appears to be for the 2001FP not the 2007FP which is monitor that I have.

Chris,
To follow up ...
I have loaded the 2007FP driver (R113371) which seems to have 1600x1200 resolution in the 2007FP.INF file, but when attempting to set the resolution in from Display Characteristics, it doesn't give that as an option.

Are there any registry entries that are used to set the Monitor 2 resolution options for a device that is NON-PNP?

Read this. This not supported by Dell.

i have an hp laptop running winders7 and have come across this issue. i looked for drivers - no luck. i found your thread - no luck.
but then i happen to remember i have a USB adapter which also happens to be from hp. so i hooked up my DisplayLink NL571AA, used the DVI output from it to hook up to the 2007FP and voila! it worked! (i had previously loaded the displaylink driver onto this laptop.) i think the displaylink product will worth with any pc as long as you use the drivers that come with it and meet the other small requirements: open USB port on your pc and whatever else.
side note: computer displays really did take a step back when someone decided that HD was the way to go and every external display turned into 1920x1080. i happen to love my 1600x1200 display. there is no reason that computer displays should follow the 1920x1080 format. computer displays could have kept growing multiples of 4:3 and we would have been JUST FINE. or maybe EVEN BETTER.
