I have a program that needs to have a resolution of 1280X8??, I have a 15
inch flat screen, and currently the max resolution I can adjust to is
1024X769, is there any way I can improve on this cheaply.

Many thanks

John

Con some **** into swapping a 17" CRT for it.

Is it a limitation of the monitor (maximium resolution) or the video card
(video RAM?) It's a matter of replacing whichever one won't let you go
farther. (For instance, I've got a video card that could comfortably run at
1600x1200, but the monitor won't go past 1024x768 - can't handle anything
higher.)

If you have to ask if your copy of XP is 32 or 64 bit, it's 32.

Yes, I totally agree. You must check the specification on
the monitor itself what is the maximum resolution. For CRT
monitor, maybe you can try set to the lowest refresh rate
(60Hz).

If you can't use that resolution there is no cheap way. If you can read
the manual that came with the monitor it will tell you what resolutions
you can use. You can also contact the company's site and find out. This
is a case where money talks. :-)

John should also note that there is normally no 1280 x 8-anything
choice. The standard resolution with 1280 horizontal pixels is
1280 x 1024.

Also note that running 1280 x 1024 on a 15" monitor will make
things *very* small. Each person's eyes are different, but I
wouldn't want to run 1280 x 1024 on anything less than a 19"
monitor.

Who gives a **** what you would or would not do? Certainly not the OP.
Certainly not me. Probably not many others either. Keep your ****witted
personal opinions about what you would do in imaginary situations that the
OP indicated were currently beyond his means to your ****witted self, you
puss bag ****tard.
