Try downloading the vista drivers for your graphics. That is what I hada do before they have windows 7 drivers.

^ yah but who ever goes there anyway, seems like OTL FTW as always
but yah try Vista drivers fosho, because Windows 7 may not identify your video card properly (considering its in RC, it will have several drivers issues just like Vista), but the Display usually never has to do with the resolution, its only what you V-card supoorts in MOST CASES, so yah ,
www.nvidia.com or
www.ati.com

http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_notebook_winvista_179.48_beta.htmlThat should work.
Go to control panel and uninstall the Nvidia drivers you have. Reboot into safe mode. Run Driver sweeper to clean any remaining nvidia files. Reboot into safe mode again and install the driver I linked above.
