Right off hand this would be related to a combination of refresh rate / resolution, so couple of questions:|

What operating system are you using?
What Nvidia driver set are you using?
How are you physically connecting the computer to the monitor? (VGA, DVI, HDMI, Displayport?)
What is the actual pixel resolution of your monitor?
And just as a side note, the game itself *will* run 1680x1050. Doing so on two PCs.
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. 270.61 Nvidia driver. I am using VGA. And I believe the actual pixel resolution is 1680x1050. The monitor is a LG 22", model number L227WTG. Thanks for the quick reply!

What you would need to do at this point is determine what frequency your monitor is refreshing at. You should be able to obtain this information in the Nvidia-Control panel.
The next step is to set the game to match this refresh rate. There is a manual refresh rate entry in the game's GUI options just underneath the resolution setting in the game's options.
Make sure the refresh rate of the game matches the refresh rate of your monitor, and then you "should" be able to set the game to the res you want... assuming that is the problem at hand.
Alternatively, JUNK that VGA cable and get a DVI or HDMI cable instead... That monitor says it support both, and a Geforce 8x00 card should at least have a DVI output.
I figured out the problem. I had my main display cloned to my tv and the game didnt like that for some reason. Thanks for your help!
