Here's the problem:

NOTE: She is not trying to use just ONE of the 15" LCDs to run games on at
fullscreen 1024x768 resolution. 99% of the time, with the original Unreal
Tournament (not 2003) and pretty much all her games the game won't allow

her
to go past 800x600 resolution. There's no option for 1024x768 at all (the

card
supports it as does the monitors - this has been confirmed her native res

of
the 151-P monitors is 1024x768). Most cases the game whether using OPENGl

or
Direct3d won't allow her to play the games fullscreen at all, if they do,

it's
really in a window that's no higher than 800x600 res.


Problems like this are most often caused by having used the PowerDesk
monitor adjustment application. The monitor adjustment tool will create a
single custom setting for a resolution, which overrides ALL other settings
for that resolution, making them unavailable. This is a problem if a game
tries to set a specific refresh rate, or needs the DirectX default refresh
rate, and this refresh rate is not available for that resolution.

If this is the case, open regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11C
E-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\MTXPARH\Device0

Remove any custom resolutions -- both the key name and data. Leave the
default settings in place (i.e. the Graphic.1024.768 and similar keys).

Repeat for 0001 and Device1, respectively, for a 2 monitor setup, and for
0002 and Device2 if having 3 monitors.
