Hi, 

I sort of got side tracked with other life issues, but yes it worked
when enabled the driver in the Restricted Drivers Manager.  I'm getting
1600 x 1200 with vga.  I can't change to the DVI cable because of my
dexterity but I'll get someone to do it when they drop by.  

How do I tell if the cable that came with the monitor is dual-link DVI?
And once on DVI, what do I have to do to get it to 1920 x 1200? 

By the way it looks pretty dam good now. 

Thanks

Rick
