Using Windows XP SP3
GeForce FX 5200
Samsung Syncmaster 2233SW
Monitor connected via DVI connection

I just got a new Samsung monitor for which the optimum resolution is
1920x1080 at 60 Hertz. I downloaded the latest Nvidia driver for my
video card; this driver has 1920x1080 as an available resolution. When
I select this resolution, the task bar is placed below the viewable area
on the screen. Using the Info option on the monitor's built in menu, I
can see that the monitor still thinks that it is being driven at a
resolution of 1280x1024. There is no option on the monitor's menu to
manually adjust the resolution. How do I force the monitor to recognize
the resolution to which I have the video card set?

You need to purchase a video card that can handle that resolution.

GeForce FX 5200: "A full 128MB of 64-bit double-pumping DDR SDRAM
memory delivers cutting edge graphics at a full 2048x1536 resolution "

Your old one can't, check out www.newegg.com they usually have bundles
on sale (video cards and higher rated power supplies).

I though that might be the problem, but the Nvidia driver makes it look
like that resolution is available and valid for my graphics card.
Thanks for the input.

I have NVidia cards on several machine, and the newer drivers have
always successfully replaced the older drivers when upgrading.

Talked to Samsung's tech support. The monitor will not recognize any
resolution above 1280x1024 even though the driver support several up to
1920x1080. It appears I have a defective monitor.
