fixed!

here's what I did:

I got home from work and formatted my HDD and did a 100% fresh install of Windows Vista Ultimate x64.

I then installed the latest drivers from nVidia for my mobo (I have an eVGA 680i board).

Then, I downloaded the latest 175.xx series WHQL drivers from nVidia's site and installed them.

Next, I installed the Matrox PowerDesk software.

The PowerDesk tools did _NOT_ show 5040x1050, but the normal Windows desktop settings for resolution selection _DID_, so I changed in Windows and left the GXM tools out of the mix.
