..or rather it detects "default vga monitor" instead which won't allow the correct resolution. I've installed the latest monitor driver (using device manager) and this shows up correctly when I open Display Properties. However the ATI software still won't recognise it.

Any ideas?
 
may sound stupid but I've solved many computer brain teaser by simply rebooting after installing new drivers
 
May aslo sound stupid, but the graphics card does definitely support the monitor's resolution?

Yes, it's worked before, but stopped this morning after i plugged it into another monitor( with a different resolution) and then plugged back in the old one.
 
So, it starts normally but can only display the monitor at an incorrect resolution?

Have you tried re-installing the ATI software?

I had reinstalled it before but (i think) before the new drivers were installed, so I'll try again.
