| 187397 | 2003-10-28 22:24:00 | I move the arrow to increase the resolution from 800x600 to say 1024x768,then click apply,all it does is close down and goes back to 800x 600. What could the matter be? |

If it does, you either need the correct drivers, or your video adapter/on board chipset has insufficient memory. If its an on-board chipset adapter, that uses "shared memory", you may be able to allocate more memory to it in the BIOS. |

| 187401 | 2003-10-28 23:49:00 | Thanks chaps. Reduced refresh rate from 100 to the one below and am able to increase resolution. This font of info is wonderful;) |
