4 Tabling Help

[Durs522]

I have a dell inspiron 8600 laptop and I would like to play 4 tables at the same time without overlap. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Has anyone been successful in doing this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How do I set up my computer to play more than one game without overlapping?

You need to increase the screen resolution. To do this on a PC:

1) Right (Alternate) click on the desktop and select properties.
2) Select the settings tab.
3) Drag the indicator below the words “Screen resolution” to the right.
4) Hit OK, then, Yes to the “Do you want to keep this resolution” question dialog.

To play four non overlapping games at once you need to set the screen resolution to 1600x1200, (Some sites have mini screens which will allow you to play four non overlapping games on smaller screens).

Both graphic cards and monitors have a fixed set of screen resolutions that they can support. The values in the “Display Properties/Screen resolution” display is the intersection of these two sets. So for instance if 1600x1200 is not an available option you will need either a new monitor or graphics card.

I tried doing this numerous times and it didn't work, thats why I asked. Notice it says "To do this on PC", my computer is a laptop.

I would seriously doubt that your native and max resolution on an Inspiron is higher than 1280x1024, so, no dice. An LCD is a very restrictive device in terms of resolution. Unless you hook up to an external monitor, you will be unable to reach 1.6x1.2
