Is there a way to get more screen resolutions?

I need something x 800, and this computer doesn't have that resolution. Could I somehow add ore options to this computer? I recently re-did this computer, and when I did, I had only two options, then I got the sp2 and I had two more.

Try installing the latest driver for your video card. Installing the latest driver will give your more resolution specially if your are using those wide screen LCD monitor where the default resolution looks very ugly because its stretched out.

Yep, that's what I'm using and what's happening.

Where can I get that?

A 15 inch monitor? Is this a CRT or LCD type monitor?

WHat is the make and model of the video card that you have in this computer?

PrinceRameses · 05-24-2008, 10:43 AM

It is a LCD type monitor.

How do I fing out the make/ model of the video card?

Err, that took away resolution options.

I guess it's not going to matter anymore. I am now using my old monitor where I don't have a problem. :)
