Custom video resolutions?

[AndyGroom]

Hi,

I understand that Windows XP can run at just about any resolution? I have a 50" Pioneer plasma screen and I've built a PC so that I can browse the internet on it, the only annoyance is that I can't set the video driver to 1280x768 - it only has 1024x768 or 1280x1024.

Isn't it possible to install a driver that allows you to enter any combination of resolutions - say 640x1024 if you wanted - or can anyone recommend a video card which will give me the res I need?

Video cards are normally designed to run at specific resolutions.
You have to try different drivers to see if they change the card's resolution selection. But I doubt it.

I use a GeForce4 TI 4400 that has 1280x768.
I'm sure there are other cards out there that can run this same resolution.

I have a Nvidia Gforce FX 5900XT running on the latest Nvidia Detonator drivers (56.72) which also has this 1280x768 option.

Start by questioning and soon you will be answering.
So please take but remember to return and give when you can.
