monitor resolution
HI,
OK, I've had probs with freezing etc that I've solved. But I've just noticed that I cannot get past 1024 x 768 monitor res. I know that my monitor can go higher (though I have no reason to) but am just annoyed that I can't. card MSI FX5600 TVDR 128 Anyone else with sim probs? Eddie

Have you installed the correct inf file for you monitor? If not then Windows is just using the default monitor definition which only supports up to 1024x768 as most old monitors won't go above this. For instance, with my GF4Ti4200 and default monitor I can get to 1024x768, with the correct Fujitsu monitor file to match mine I can run at up to 2048x1536 (although the text is too tiny on a 19" monitor at this res!), although I tend to stick to 1280x960.

2048X1536??? Did you get a magnifying glass with the monitor to use that
resolution?!?!?!? I'll bet the text looks almost like dots! Ron "Daniel Crichton" wrote in message . .. Eddie wrote: HI, OK, I've had probs with freezing etc that I've solved.

I was messing with my settings and moved it all the way up to that res just to test it. And at 60Hz refresh it's not nice to look at - I much prefer 1280x960@85Hz  Dan
