Monitor resolutions by Kenji on 10-07-2006 at 09:03 PM

Well... In XP I can get 1400x1050 resolution, but in vista i can only get up to 1280x1240 i have the drivers installed but i cant get it, and i cant stand 1280x1240 as i got use to 1400x1050 :undecided:

anyone know if theres a way to get it back?

Do you have it installed in a Virtual Machine or on the computer directly?

If it's the second one, maybe the Vista drivers simply don't reach that high.

i suppose you disabled the option:
don't display resolutions that the monitor doesn't support...

RE: Monitor resolutions by DarkMe on 10-07-2006 at 09:45 PM

i have a 17'' lcd monitor that support 1280x1024 and i only have 1024x768
but i connected a crt monitor of 16'' and it supports the 1280x1024
:sad:

yes but higher resolutions require higher refresh rates....

RE: Monitor resolutions by Ezra on 10-07-2006 at 09:54 PM
