I have a 17" monitor, you prob. have a 15

blade is that a widescreen resolution, i have a widescreen resolution too. I have 1280 x 800 but want to know how to make it bigger

on the enlarge slider, it just goes

640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1280 x 800

and then it stops, how do i get higher resolutions.

1) I don't have a widescreen - just a standard 17" monitor
2) If the res doesn't go any higher it means your video card doesn't support any higher of a resolution.

By getting a monitor capable of higher resolutions
If you have the correct driver installed for your monitor, Windows won't let you set it to incompatible settings. I'd love to run higher than 1024×768, but my 15" LCD isn't capable of it. So I can't.

It's more often the video card than the monitor. Most CRTs have quite a high max, where as most LCDs have a 1280x1024 max most of the time.

Partially true: my video card can go way above 1024×768, but my monitor can't, which is why I have the limit imposed by Windows.

Your monitor must be pretty old.


Btw, what video card do you have?

Why do you have a link to Norton on your desktop? It's almost impossible to completely shut down Norton while your PC's running so that icon would have no use whatsoever

depends on the size of the screen, the smaller the screen the less the resolution.

Not really - Most LCDs have 1280x1024 as the max, just look, a good chunk of 15", almost all 17" and a chunk of 19".


About Norton: I didn't even notice it I deleted the icon.
