Using latest 7.1s display properties will not let me set a res higher then 1024x768, Why?

Fixed now, Not sure exactly how i did it but i just switched main monitors to my second ( tv ) then back to the lcd monitor, higher resolutions were an option after that.

usually if the main monitor is on the port shared with the TV port, that this occurs.

It's vista/ati's crap clone handling. It sets both screens max rezes to the lowest one available. Same problem I've been having for ages now. Extended desktop mode fixes it but is NOT a real solution.
