ok.... i have a GeForce 256 and when i was running windows 98 i could run the resolution up to 2000,1000 (something like that, i forgot the exact size)
well, anywho... after i downgraded (yes, downgraded) to winME, i can only get a max of 1600,900. and i know my monitor can do more because i've ran 1600,1200 on this monitor before.....

does anyone know how i can get it higher??


thank you,
U

windows SE and ME screw up and get my moniter wrong all the time, I just pick a generic moniter driver that fits the description.

Try a program to change for res. that might work, i remember on my old monitor i could set it to 1280x1024 when windows would only alow me to do 1024x768. try cnet or download.com.

the highest generic monitor driver i found is 1600x1200
but when i load that, i can still only get a max of 1600x900..

and i found a program a while back that is for overclocking videocards (nvida ones only i think) and it let you switch between different resolutions. but i havent been able to find it..... any know where i can find it??

thanks,
U
