This is frustrating..I updated all drivers and installed them properly.
The manufacturer indicated this Video card will work with widescreens if set at 60HZ which is my only choice. When I get to display I dont have 1680x1050 as a choice. The best I get is 1400x1050. Can someone help??

I am also going through DVI cables...if it makes a difference.
Thanks

That's a pretty old video card:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_20040109440047.html
Supported Resolutions:
640 x 480 at 240 Hz in 16.7M colors
800 x 600 at 240 Hz in 16.7M colors
1024 x 768 at 200 Hz in 16.7M colors
1152 x 864 at 170 Hz in 16.7M colors
1028 x 1024 at 150 Hz in 16.7M colors
1600 x 1200 at 100 Hz in 16.7M colors
1920 x 1440 at 85 Hz in 16.7M colors
2048 x 1536 at 85 Hz in 16.7M colors
It does NOT support widescreens.

You can see if the video card is capable:
Display Properties > Settings tab > click the Advanced button.
Click the Monitor tab, and then uncheck the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" tick box, and click Apply.
Then click on the Adapter tab, and the List All Modes... button.
Scroll down though the list to see if
1680 by 1050 XXX Colors (xx bit) 60 Hertz
is in there.
If it is you can select it and it will force that mode.
Make sure you do not select something that the monitor is not capable of. You could end up with a "out of range" message on the monitor and no easy way to get back to the right resolution.
If it is not there, the only think I can think of is that you need to upgrade the video BIOS. You would need to get that from the video card manufacturer, not NVidia.

the graphics card is too old you'll need a much newer one
