Changing monitor resolution...
When I change to 1600x1200, it makes my monitor "scroll"...rather than make everything smaller it makes the desktop bigger and I just can't see it all at once (Though I can now fit 4 poker tables without overlap...but i can only see one at a time!!)
How do I tell windows to also go to 1600x1200? |

[/ QUOTE ] you probably need to adjust the refresh rate hertz edit: although only fitting one table on the screen at a time sounds like a pretty significant difference now that i actually reread the post.. so nevermind. maybe you need to update your driver ? |

Re: Changing monitor resolution...
my card must support it, because I changed the resolution through the ATI icon on the task bar (or whatever it's called by the clock in bottom right). i have the monitor box right here and it says : Maximum Resolution 1600x1200 @ 60Hz

Their drivers definately use a virtual desktop when actual resolution is not supported. |

Re: Changing monitor resolution...
Refresh will produce some flicker or strobing, but he desktop is going virtual...
Get it a shot, but I'm affraid you may be out of luck on that monitor. |
