E248WFP is not recognizing max windows resolution 1920 x 1200


Help!!! I set the resolution to 1920 x 1200 but the monitor only display 1600 x 1200.
The monitor settings button shows the current resolution as 1600 x 1200 and below
that it states the optimum resolution is 1920 x 1200.
Holding the mouse on the monitor edge scrolls to the left or right to show the rest of the display.

System info:
Windows XP: Service Pack 2
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Graphics driver: NVIDIA 6.14.11.6921 (12/5/2007)
Monitor 1: DVI connection : E248WFP
Monitor 2: VGA connection : DELL 2007FP


Note... This problem does not exist if I switch the monitor cables like this:
Monitor 1: VGA connection : E248WFP
Monitor 2: DVI connection : DELL 2007FP
But this does not give me the best picture on my Primary monitor.

    mddave,

    Open the Display settings and click each monitor pictured and verify that they are both set to 60 Hz.

    They are.. 60Hz is the only option. 
    Hiding  modes that the monitor can't display.

    I have also tried...
      Reseting the NVIDIA graphics settings
      Resetting the Monitors Factory settings (both monitors)

    By itself, on both the VGA and the DVI, does the E248WFP do 1920x1200?

    Chris,

    I think I found my own problem...
    Found this on the nvidia web site for my AGP 8X crad...
    http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20040109440047.html

    >> Dual RAMDACs (up to 400 MHz) for display resolutions up to and including 2048×1536 @ 85Hz
    >> DVI support for compatibility with nextgeneration flat panel displays with resolutions up to and including 1600×1200

    So It seems, I can set the DVI resolution larger but it will only display 1600x1200.  As I have seen.
    However VGA mode will display the full 1920x1200 on one screen.

    Thanks for the help.
