Hello and thank you in advance for checking out my problem :p

So here it is, I've just set up a new screen on my PC!
Originally, it's a television screen, but since I've changed my television, I thought I would use the old screen for the PC (because the one for the PC is really small ^^)
So I unplug the old screen, plug in my new screen... everything works perfectly, but the only problem is that the screen resolution is stuck at "800x600 pixels", I can't set it to any other size :s which makes the image quite... "poor"
Does anyone know where the problem might come from? And how to fix it? :) Before, I didn't have any issues with the old screen...
(my graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS and the drivers are up to date)
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.5.7

Hello!

So, it's a screen from the brand "Sonic", but I couldn't tell you the reference :s
All I know is that it's 20"
and that in the display properties it is recognized as a "plug and play" screen.

The thing is, if it's originally a low-definition TV, its resolution is ... 800x600.

Mouarf... I don't know if it's a low-resolution TV or not :s

But let's assume it is, would it be impossible to change the resolution?

Oh, here it is, while digging through the papers I found the model:

Hello
go to the Nvidia website, that's where you need to look to update your graphics card, and for your screen, you go to touslesdrivers.com.

As I was saying, my graphics card is up to date (Nvidia Geforce 7600GS, Driver installed: V 196.21)
and none of the drivers offer a driver for the screen

Plug-and-Play Screen
Installed drivers:
Manufacturer: | INF file: monitor.inf | Class: monitor | Version: 5.1.2001.0 | Date: 06/06/2001


It would bother me to have to replace the old screen, because it's still more pleasant to be on a 20" than on a 17" :(

A priori you won't be able to go higher. The specifications say 640x480:

You're welcome, unfortunately, we can't turn a Renault 4L into a Ferrari F40 :-(
