Removed Forceware 182.06 (WHQL) and installed Forceware 182.08 (WHQL) and i'm still getting the OSD error on my Dell 2208 Ultrasharps regarding the "Non-Optimal Resolution".

It was with a custom resolution.

Using a custom res in 180.43 worked fine. Tried to upgrade to 181.22 or 182.05 and no go. I get the wonderful Not Optimal resolution message on my Dell 2208's. Putting back 180.43 fixes the issue. Also, using Powerdesk to set the res works in 180.43 but not 181 ...

Im running Vista X64, Triple GTX 280 5040x1050 works provided im running 180.43 and the BETA Powerdesk. After installing 181.22 my pc Blue Screens. 180.43 works fine. I also get test failed for the 181.22 for any res I attempt to add.

It apppers the issue is the Forware 181.22 drivers.
