Billwinkle,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

What video card do you installed in the system? What is the max resolution for that video card? If the video card does not support that high of a resolution then, the flat panel will not be able to achieve that setting.

It is a NVIDIA 8500GT and it supports up to 2560X1600. Would the XP driver work w/ Vista?

I tried and it didn't.

Were you ever able to get your 2001FP running at full native resolution (1600x1200)? 
 
I have two 2001FPs that I run in rotated (portrait) mode, side by side, and I'm considering upgrading to Vista, for a variety of reasons.  If I can't use my 2001FPs, however, I probably won't.  Any insights?
 
I have the nVidia 7900GS video card (256MB).
 
Thanks,
Jim

Actually, it works fine now. I was able to download a driver from Dell, but finally MS published an update.

It was aoutmatic, but not a critical update. HDI or something like that. It involved the wireless mouse causing a conflict w the screen saver function.

Thanks again for the quick reply.  Any thoughts about my question about rotating?

Thanks for the reply.  One other question: Are you running either or both of them in portrait mode (i.e., rotated 90 degrees)?  If not, have you ever tried to and did it work?
 
I guess one other, other question :smileyvery-happy: : The MS update that your referring to, was that just an automatic periodic Windows Vista update, or a specific driver or something that you sought out and installed?
 
Thanks again,
Jim

Hi jim, I noticed that your question on portrait mode had not been answered, at least not in this forum.  I use an ATI card, but using the ATI controls I am able to use my 2001FP in portrait mode under Windows Vista just fine.

If this is still an issue for you, hope this post helps :)

Thanks for your reply. 

 

I did upgrade to Vista, and it works great in both portrait mode and landscape mode.  I have no issues at all - with this or anything else in Vista - and I find it to be a vastly superior OS.  I'm very glad I upgraded.

I also have Vista Home Premium 64 and am using a Dell 2001FP monitor.  My issue is that I have green shimmering band that runs vertically about 1.5" close to the left side of the monitor.  You really see it when you have shades of gray or teal on the screen.  It doesn't matter what mode of resolution you're in, you still see it.  I tried to update the monitor driver, but Vista keeps telling me that the driver is not compatible with it (64 bit issues I bet).  I've searched the Dell site and have only found the drivers for XP, but as I mentioned, they don't work.

Any help please???

You're going to miss the all-important post, which includes a link to the drivers, with all the posts you've got going on the subject in various threads!

 

As I've mentioned in one of them, I've just replied with a link to drivers in your own thread on this subject.

If you can't find it, simply Google 'Dell 2001FP Vista 64 drivers?', and look for the Zdnet Asia link :emotion-55:

They're offering the A02 drivers, which are apparently suitable for using under Vista 64bit?

TheRealFireblade, that driver doesn't work.  I have a Vista 64 Ultimate desktop with an EVGA Nvidia 9800 GTX+ card and a Dell 2001FP.  I installed the card, the system boots in VESA mode.  I install the provided NVidia drivers for the EVGA card.  It asks me to reboot, I do so. It boots up, but as soon as the windows intro music plays, the monitor goes black (sleep mode).  I reboot in safe mode and I notice that it says Generic Non-PNP Monitor in device Manager.  I downloaded the A02 driver for the 2001FP from the site you gave (as well as three other sites).  When I try to add new hardware, and point Vitsa to that driver, it says "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device.  If the folder contains a driver, makje sure it is designed to work with Windows with x64-based systems."  In the readme file for that driver, it says that the driver is for Windows XP and Windows 2000.  So, this is not a Vista 64 driver, even if it says that it is on the page.

Can anyone help us?

Cheers,

Chewmanfoo

I have a 9800gx2 hooked up to mine while running vista 64 and it loaded the generic pnp driver, everything seems to work ok.  I'm using the DVI connector, don't know if that matters tho.
