| 75134 | 2002-08-30 21:44:00 | I am trying to change my screen resolution from '1024 x 766 High Colour 16 Bit', to '1152 x 864 High Color 16 Bit'. However, when I select the higher resolution the colour setting jumpes to '256 Colors'. When I change it back to 'High Color 16 Bit' the resolution changes back to the lower one. (OS Windows 98SE) What's going on please?????? | fritz (1552) | ||
| 75135 | 2002-08-30 21:45:00 | Sorry that should read '1024 x 768' not 766. | fritz (1552) | ||

| 75139 | 2002-08-31 03:07:00 | Thanks antmnnz & tweak'e. Had a feeling it had something to do with my video card, but it's good to have it confirmed. My V-Card: Voodoo2, - here goes some more money down the drain. :- Fritz |
