Changing monitor resolution...

[Doc7]

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?

Are you sure your monitor supports 16x12? Typically, when a monitor does not, windows defaults to a virtual desktop.

Errrr, I mean are you sure your card supports it?

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 ?

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

What type of ATI card. Their drivers definately use a virtual desktop when actual resolution is not supported.

I meant one full table. Like right now posting, I can the entire 2p2 page vertically, but where my firefox has my quicklinks/address bar etc, it's above the top of the screen (i need to move the mouse up) and i'm probably missing 2-3 inches of Horizontal. (I can only see to the right most margin of the posting page, where it says "Infopop corporation" aligned right.
