just interested in a workaround for this and a fix if it is needed from vista
, blizzard or nvidia or is it because my vista will not let me load a driver
for my widescreen monitor?
 
Is there a Vista driver available from the monitor manufacturer? You might
try an XP driver, some XP drivers work in Vista, some do not.
 
Except DX10 doesn't really exist yet.

I missed the beginning as this is snipped, but I successfully installed my
37" Widescreen with Vista. I just had to list all the modes and experiment.
Oddly, using 59hz worked (60hz didn't!).

I've been looking all over for a solution to this as well. I'm running the
following:

nVidia 6800 GT v.8.8.6.1 (their latest for Vista)
Sceptre x20 Naga III 20" widescreen - (their latest)

Vista appears to be just fine with all resolutions (even 16:10 format) but
World of Warcraft does not recognize any 16:10 resolutions - even though my
current desktop settings are 1680x1050.

I cannot find any other details on this. Is it a compatibility issue with
DX10 or simply an issue with the current drivers (though according to WoW
forums, others with ATI are seeing this as well)? Maybe it's an issue with
WoW all together.

I haven't installed any other DX games yet but am suspecting that they will
exhibit the same behavior.
 
I'm having a similar problem but haven't found a solution yet. I have the
beta ATI drivers installed and while running Vista normally I can see many
resolution options. I have chosen to run at 1164x768 but when I log into WoW
it will only allow me to choose these resolutions:

800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

Trying to figure out how to get WoW to display more reslutions....
 
Same here, except I need 1920 x 1200! I see nVidia has released a newer set
of drivers than Vista has packaged with it. Try that out. I JUST
uninstalled WOW and I am not going to put it back...I just found these vid
drivers too, AHH
