Inspiron E1705 nvidia 7900 GS screen scaling

Hi, When upgraded to Vista home premium from XP MCE, the nvidia control panel lost option to change screen scaling. will this be restored in the future driver versions? Thanks, Mart

    Where did you find your Nvidia control panel. I lost mine after upgrading. Did you download the Nvidia driver from dell?

    Yes, here on this site in support -> downloads and drivers. this control panel is though very limited in options. Remember to setup Vista as operating system - it defaults to XP.

    Is your dell driver for your videocard pretty stable? Did you have access to your control panel before downloading the driver? Does your display look fine?

    Yes, the display is ok. First I used driver that came with vista upgrade. it had the limited nvidia control panel. Then I installed other driver, from nvidia, I think, it had no nv. contol panel. And recently I got the driver from this site, it has this limited control panel again. All times my display was ok. Recently I got Microsoft virtual PC and there is option for full screen. So I set resolution in my virtual machine 1600x1200, my display native is 1920x1200. Interesting is that sometimes my host stretches virtual screen and sometimes it does not. I think the 7900 GS has internal stretching, that present driver does not access, but it is still there, and virtual PC can somehow get to both settings.

    And more info. Speech recognition seems to have problem with display. In the command "Mousegrid" it covers only lower middle portion of the screen, and it should cover all screen. So speech recognition does not see display correctly.

    right click on the desktop, should be in the third section (after two splitters). I know there is also other way to access it, but cannot find it... :)

    Where did you find your Nvidia Conrol panel with the Vista driver? I cannot find mine. It is not in control panel.

    some new findings regarding speech rec. and mousegrid. when I had maximized an explorer(?) window, mousegrid had problem, when i minimized it - mousegrid covered properly whole screen. i'm not sure its driver bug or speech rec.
