I've just come back from holiday and my Acer x223w monitor won't display in 1680x1050.
I'm running XP from a Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S. Using "Display" from Control Panel, and the "Settings Tab" the closest I get is 1600x1200.
How can I fix this?
It would seem, somehow, your graphics driver was corrupted. The only thing to do is re-install graphics drivers. These can be found with a quick Google Search: CLICK ME
The first link, to DriversCollection.com, looks promising. This one is for Windows Vista or XP, but you need to specify on the tabs near the top of the page. Make sure you download the correct driver, as this page includes other drivers. You're looking for "Graphics Driver" [Vista] or "Video Driver" [XP].
Hope this works for you.

S7210 is the model.
The graphics software is the standard driver that comes with the laptop: Intel Graphics Media Adaptor for mobile
Yes, it was working before the holiday.
Thanks Chris.
I downloaded the most recent drivers and installed them. This has given me much more finegrained control over the display settings including the option to go for the 1680 x 1050 resolution.
However, when I set this as my resolution for my Acer monitor it displays at a lower, clunky resolution.
I'm not sure what to do next.
If you have any other ideas, I'd be grateful of pointers. All the best.
LifeBook S is a series. What is the model number of your notebook (it should be on a decal on your puter's underside)?
Do you have third-party graphics software? (i.e. NVidia, ATI)
It seems this is a new problem; this was working okay before your holiday?
