Videocard fails to identify with monitor

Hi everybody :)

I'm using a Iiyama 19" widescreen lcd monitor, that untill recently was working perfectly.

I was cleaning it off and moved the monitor in the process.
Then later, after booting up the PC I noticed the resolution had switched to a non-widescreen resolution. I also noticed that my monitor wasn't bieng identified by modeltype anymore but instead simply said "analog monitor". The monitor also gives a black image for a short period when I try to change any of the settings in windows (didn't do that before).

I noticed that powercable in the back of the monitor had come loose, I reinserted it properly but the monitor still is bieng called "analog monitor".

This is annoying because now I cannot select the native resolution of 1440x900 so I allways have a skewed image. Not interesting when you need to do graphics work.

I'm using Windows XP Home, graphics card is a GF 5900XT and I'm using a VGA connector.

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
 
Hi

Have you tried removing the monitor under device manager and letting windows redetect it ?

Regards
