PB Monitor resolution prob
Hi sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup,
I gave my dad my old computer a couple months ago to replace his old Packard Bell one. I kept my monitor though, meaning that my dad was left with his packard bell 1015. My problem is that though the montior manual says the maximum resolution is 1024x768, I can only acheive 800x600. I have searched all over the internet for a solution, trying different drivers etc but nothing seems to work. Any1 know a solution? Thanks in advance for any help Scott |

Thanks in advance for any help Scott Scott the resolution or refresh rate of the monitor is dependent on the "Video Card" if you have a on board video you would have to look for an updated driver to achieve that size and resolution. Also if you have a PCI Video card it will also need newer drivers and they can be obtained via the manufacturer's web site. (ATI-Cirrus Logic-NVIDIA etc) I hope that helped? Elector |
