I have 9.6 running but when I tried upgrading it said I have no
hardware
capable of using this software.

You need to use this:

unfortunately it will not cure my monitors lack of ability in setting
1680
x
1050 so I will wait until Samsung sort out the problem...


Let me guess....When you have this setting it scrolls about your
desktop?

The Zero ST

when I have 1680x1050 set I have to scroll the screen left and right to
see
all the screen. Samsung recently replaced the panel under warranty and the
replacement, though 1 month newer than the old, is lacking the latest
firmware. Samsung are due to replace it or give me a brand new one.


I have a SyncMaster 226BW 22" and suffered from the same problem.
Installing drivers didn't help. It seems the monitor doesn't send the
EDID needed. I spent days trying to sort it and then managed to using
ATI's CCC. There is a setting with loads of "supported" resolutions*
or something. I seem to remember it was greyed out at first so I had
to manually pick my resolution and it forced my monitor to take it.

I don't have CCC installed anymore so I can't point you in the right
place but I'm very sure you have the same problem I had.

*and I don't mean on the usual select screen resolution screen.

CCC stops at 1600 x 1200 which it reads from the EDID as you say. Loading
the Samsung software that came with the monitor 1680 x 1050 is available in
Windoz display properties. Once 1680 x 1050 is set here it then appears in
CCC. Using Force makes absolutely no difference. There are ways of patching
the EDID by overwriting the EPROM's but that would invalidate my warranty.
Samsung have it all in hand and CS are due back to me next week. Its the 4th
monitor under my 3 year warranty and the engineer stated he thought they
would provide me a new one instead of refurbished. This is because they
don't know which of the referbs have the correct EDID firmware.


Well the 1600 x 1200 max rings a very loud bell for me.

I'm pretty sure if was this screen...
http://img187.imageshack.us/i/ccc2dl...i%20ccc%20edid

Uncheck the EDID and select the max resolution there? If not then it
deffo a drop down menu like that. It may be in Displays Manager.

I guess if you're getting it swapped it's not that big an issue. I
just *know* it could be sorted before then. Oh well!

Are you using DVI or VGA ports on the monitor. You need to use the native
resolution that your monitor is designed for. What model is it? My Acer
24"
demands 1920-1200

its only a problem on the DVI port, the VGA port displays 1680x1050.

I'm not sure...I just found that screen grab online. Mine didn't look
like that either. I'm sure my CCC was grey and not white.

All I remember is the setting was on the same window as the EDID stuff
and I'm pretty sure I had to check or uncheck a box and then select
the resolution myself. I'm sure it is the same as the picture I posted
because it would make total sense. Your monitor now is displaying 1680
x 1050 on a resolution of 1600 x 1200 because CCC doesn't know your
monitor can do 1680.

It transpires the settings you show are for the VGA port. I and it appears a
few thousand others are having the res problem when using the DVI port.
Bloody odd cos my last monitor had no problems whatsoever and it was the
same model but one month older.

The screengrab is probalby for VGA but the one I used myself wasn't
because I have never used VGA to connect to the monitor. Do you have a
Samsung?

when you press your monitor's menu button and scroll down to see what
