Resolution differences..Vista vs. Win7
I have Vista Ultimate installed on one hard drive, and Win 7 on another hard drive. I have a Nividia video card. I have the resolution set to 1024 X 768 on the Vista hard drive and I like the looks. If I set the resolution to the same number 1024 X 768 on the Win 7 hard drive, it looks very different. I have to set it at 1280 X 800 to look similar to the Vista. Why is this ??? I am running IE7 on the Vista HD, and IE8 on the Win7 HD. is this causing the difference ?
I would like to upgrade my Vista to IE8, but not if I can't keep the same look. I have the same current driver for the Nividia card on both OS's The monitor is a Hanns-G, HW191D, 19" wide screen, and the driver for that is just a generic Microsoft one. Suggestions, please. Mike

Are you using Vista Nvidia video card drivers on Vista and Win 7 drivers in Win 7.
Wouldn't think so but Vista and Win 7 may be handling the non-widescreen resolutions differently. Looks like the native resolution for that 19" WS is 1440x900

flanzig1---Thanks for the reply. I am using the same Nividia driver from their site, on both the Vista HD and the Win7 HD. I know the rsolution is 1440 X 900, but I do not like that size.
