I don't know if I'm asking something that already been asked before, but I swear I've been trying to search and search and search and found nothing - obviously since I'm posting this thread

I just bought a LG 24" w2452t yesterday, which is said to have the max resolution at 1920x1200.

BUT, when i hooked it up using the D-SUB port (there's another one called DVI-D port but since I didn't have the cable...), the highest resolution I can get is 1600x1200, the 1920x1200 even isn't in the properties setting. Knowing this a little, I went to Advance and unchecked the box that said something like hide modes your monitor can't display. Wala, the 1920x1200 appeared. BUT again, when I applied that, the screen went black with a message which said "ANALOG OUT OF RANGE 93.5 khz / 75 hz" and then turned back to 1600x1200

I tried to install the latest driver for the video card which is the Intel® extreme graphics 2 but the result was no better or even worse, the screen didn't even go back to 1600x1200. It STAYED like that and I had to reboot the computer - went to the VGA mode to reset it.

When I googled this matter, seems like a lot of people having this same problem but not much find a solution yet, my theory is that what caused this problem is my pathetic video card which is a Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller that is like 90mb

So, I totally give up on trying to solve this problem myself and turn to somewhat more experience, expert-like member of this forum to help me and people who have the same problem figuring this out once and for all!!!! THANKS in advance!!!

This is what I got from the hardware scanning (I deleted some parts I think are not important like sound card and stuffs like that)

You may have to use the DVI port to get the resolution you currently can't get (as mentioned in the web page above).
