Second monitor resolution messed up

I finally have the desk space to have a second small monitor on my desk. The issue is that I have only hdmi and DP ports on my graphics card, but the second old monitor I have is only VGA.

I bought a DP to VGA adapter and connected the monitor but its resolution is messed up. The monitor is telling me its optimal resolution is 1280x1024, but I am unable to set such a resolution in windows. It's giving me "1024x768 (native)" and some 16:9 resolutions, none of which are appropriate.

I tried using the NVidia control panel to set a custom resolution of 1280x1024 but the picture appears stretched and I cannot see like 20% of the screen on the left and the bottom. I tried all 4 "scaling" options in Nvidia but none produce a correct picture.

The only way I see a prope picture with no black bars or stretching is the "1024x768" one, but that is obviously a smaller resolution than I would like. Surely if it's able to produce that ratio with a smaller resolution it should support other similar ratios?

The monitor supports 1280x1024 definitely cause I know I used it before with the resolution and also it's yelling at me that it's not in optimal resolution.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Preduzetnik pausalac, limit od 6m, sta raditi?

Prethodne godine mi je malo falilo da predjem limit od 6m, pa sam fakture za decembar poslao u Januaru.

Sto mi je jelte ove godine napravilo problem, evo na pola godine uzeo KPO knjigu, 4043446,47 RSD sam do sada profitirao.

Sta mi je najbolja ideja za raditi sada? Ako ne uradim nista, do kraja godine prelazim lagano (a i mogli bi vise taj limit da dignu jebo pas mater nije se dizao vise od 10 godina). Eventualno ove godine tri fakture da posaljem u sledecu ali mislim da dalje od toga stvarno ne bih mogao nista uraditi a da ostanem pausalac.

Vaše mišljenje o nenajavljenim gostima?

Devojka i ja živimo zajedno, njena porodica voli samo tako da bane kad god.

Meni je to apsurdno, ko se meni ne najavi ja mu ne bih vrata otvorio.

Njoj je to "normalno" i ne razume zašto mi to smeta.

Question about Karuizawa...

I am a bit confused on how people keep blackmailing her with the whole "I'll expose your past".

It's not like she was a murderer or had an onlyfans or something, the past is that she was bullied. Why would anyone care about if someone knows they were bullied in the past? If anything I'd think it would be a good story to get people's sympathy.

How do I get started anywhere on this website?

Wherever I post my comments just get automatically removed, and I'm not even allowed to post posts anywhere. I wanted to share some memes about my fav game, dead cells, but their subreddit isn't letting me post there either.

I've made like 6 comments and nobody's responding to them and my friend says they can't even see the link I send them.

From what I've understood, it's due to this karma system, but in order to even get it in the first place how do I stop my comments from getting automatically deleted?
