Crazy resolution problem with my LG226W Monitor

I will try my best to explain how this happened, but I have never even seen / heard of this happening to anyone before.

My normal resolution is 1680 x 1050 widescreen.

I was alt tabbing into wow, and my monitor resolution spazzed out, everything veered off to the left and down a bit.

I noticed that with my monitor options off the monitor buttons themselves it says that even though I had my computer resolution settings set to 1680 x 1050 it was being displayed in Analog 1280 x 1024.

When I switched it to 1440 x 900, everything was fine and the monitor options said Analog 1440 x 900.

WHENEVER I try to set it to 1680 x 1050 everything gets displayed as 1280 x 1024.

I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Appreciate any insight / help.
 
we need to know your pc specs in deatil, cpu, ram, vga etc.

ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

ASUS EAH4850/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000)

Vista 64 Bit

Alright so some how it just magically fixed itself.. mind you it happened when I was alt tabbing between Wc3 and Wow.

My computer hates wc3.

I shouldn't say magically I guess since I just started alt tabbing to make it auto adjust itself again in a weird way.
 
Good to hear about the "magic" lol. Maybe you can chock that up to experience for the next time it wierds out on you.
