This isn't right !
Hi,
I have 2 monitors DELL E207WFP and the video chipset is Intel Q45 Express
One is connected DIGITAL and the other VGA (analog)
The digital one is well recognized by windows 7 64bit as DELL E207WFP and gives the proper native resolution of 1680 X 1050
however the second monitor plugged in VGA isn't recognized and is reported as Generic Non PnP monitor therefore I'm unable to set the native resolution.
Any explaination ?
I would like to have both monitor at the same resolution.

Ok here's the step I did to solve the problem but don't know which one really worked
1) In the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel therE's an option to add a custom resolution ( I think this is my savier)
2) I did unplug everything and just pluged one monitor as VGA.
3) I went into the Device Manager and uninstalled the Generic Non PnP driver and rebooted. Once I rebooted, the PC was at the 1680 X 1050 resolution. YEAH !!!!!!!!!!
4) I plugged in the second monitor and then did my usual Multi Monitor configuration and now I have the same resolution on both.
I think but I'm not sure that it's not the fact that I did uninstall the Generic Non PnP but rather added the custom resolution on the Intel Control panel. I also saw that after rebooting I was still with the Generic Non PnP and I changed it to the Generic PnP
I would have prefered not to have a custom Resolution and have a way for Windows to recognize both monitor so I still don't understand why the Digital one is but not the VGA one What is the culprit ?
