is there any way to change the maximum resolution on my monitor?

Question

i have a 15 inch crt monitor but the resolution will only go up to 800x600 without screwing up my graphics chip supports up to 1920x1440.

Answer 1

Yes.. right click on the open area of your monitor and go to settings and you can change it that way... the old 800 X 600 just does not fit anymore.. that was based originally on a SQUARE window and many of the documents nowadays requires a larger setting as you are wanting to do.

Answer 2

My monitor says 1024 x 768, but it will go higher. I don't make a habit of going any higher, because I can't see the print.
If you are game for some experimentation, if you have Win XP SP2, set it for 1024 x 768 and click "apply". do not click OK. If the screen goes blank, it will not support that resolution, and a few seconds later it will revert to what you had it set on. If it doesn't, start you computer in safe mode, reset it and restart.
If 800 x 600 is all it will do, there is no recourse except to purchase one that will.

Answer 3

The limiting factor here is the monitor; cheaper ones support lower resolutions. The only way to use higher resolutions is to purchase a new monitor. 15" is quite small these days anyway.

Answer 4

first install the drive that comes with the AGP card. right click on desktop->>settings->>u';ll see a slide bar with caption "screen resoulation". Just drag this slider at the right position. click ok. U'll get the maximuk resoulaton supported by ur monitor.
