resolutions

[maiof]

hello again :) ... i have another question....

is there a way i can get higher resolutions? when i was on win98 it allowed my video card to reach something like 2000x1600... something like that... but when i upgraded to winME it now allows only up to 1280x1024... i know my VC and monitor can do more because i run it at 1600x1200 in linux...

thanks again,
maiof

strange ... are you running the correct driver?
what kind of monitor do you have? 15" 17" 19" ...

i have a 17' monitor... winME autodetected the monitor, but when i had 98 it detected it as a generic monitor and let me reach higher resolution. also when i upgraded from 98 to me i also upgrade from a 15 to 17 inch monitor.... my 17 is a ctx... on their webpage it says that this monitor can only do 1280x1024, but i know it can higher because like i said, in linux i was able to get 1600x1200 with this (17 ctx) monitor.

oh. and the max i was able to reach on 98 was 2048x1536

Sounds like ME is detecting the correct plug and play values, while the others have little regard for the monitor's specs. I think it's better to run it at spec. It may run at a higher resolution, but I wouldn't want to leave it there for long... there's probably a reason it isn't rated that high (may burn it out).
