Y'know how in OS4 you can specify the resolutions a monitor can display, as a tooltype in the driver's icon in the DEVS:Monitors drawer ? is there an equivalent in Windoze XP ?

I have got a new Widescreen monitor for m'kids PeeCee tp replace the CRT that died on us a week or two ago. It'll do 1280x720 but the display settings slider will only show me 3:4 ratio screen modes.

Oh - the graphics card is an ATi Rage 128 GL AGP job with 32MB RAM.


That graphics card is really old. It may not support HDTV resolution. The best suggestion I can give is to download the latest drivers and see if they added HD support. If not there is a 3rd party commercial program that will add/hack different resolutions into the drivers. I think it's power something or another.

I'd recommend picking up a newer Nvidia AGP card that supports their newer drivers that have HD resolutions built in.

Good luck.
I think, Therefore - Amiga....
