If there is anybody out there who was as dissapointed as I was to find out that there was not going to be a driver update for this, here's how I got around it. Download the driver for xp, save it instead of run it, and run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP Service Pack 2, and if you're very new to Windows 7 and do not know how to do that, right click the .exe file for the driver, go to properties, click the compatibility tab, check run in compatibility mode, click the drop down arrow, select XP Service Pack 2, hit ok, and run the update, then boom, you're all set and have gotten rid of the annoying 640x480 mini display settings that you were stuck with before.
