Monitor Resolution
In article ,
says...
Your best choice, is to run 1280x1024 @ 60Hz refresh,
as that is the native resolution. Then, in Display
properties, select larger text. For example, in this
image, you can see a "120 DPI" choice, which will make
text a bit bigger. That's how I run mine. I've never
needed the CD, when I change to 120 DPI (so the fonts
or whatever it needs, were apparently already there).
"DPI Setting: Large size (120 DPI) - part of Display Properties - Settings - Advanced"

Thanks, but is there a way to get the 1024? x 920 resolution back in the
Screen Resolution slide bar? Perhaps installing a driver? I'm very
surprised that the OS gave me the choice with the previous monitor and
not this one. I'm sure the firmware is different among the two, but they
are identical monitors, just one is newer. If I could hook up the old
monitor and boot up, then switch monitors while XP is running...
probably a pipe dream. Thanks again.
