I'm just trying to tidy up my friend's Dell Inspiron 700m. Her display is maxed out at 1024x768 pixels but it's a widescreen model and the Dell website clearly says that it should have a 1280 x 800 resolution. I can't access this resolution in Windows XP display properties though. Is there some kind of display manager that I need to get or some other solution to restoring the system's native resolution?
Cheers for you advise.

Resolution size is set by the display driver (video driver)
Head out to Dells website and download the correct video driver.
If you have the correct driver, also ensure that the information you are viewing isn't the *LCD SCREEN* max resolution, as the max resolution for the video on the laptop may be different.
The max resolution of the video card or the max resolution of the LCD screen, your real max resolution is the lesser of those two.
From your description though, a widescreen model, it most likely is just the video driver you are using, probably using a standard one. Check out the website, and download the latest. Cheers :)

No, there is not. Apple in basic terms makes mac osx for apple computing device. The EULA thoroughly forbid the setting up of MAC OSX on a non-apple computing device. additionally the mac osx wil test the hardware to make sure no remember if it extremely is an apple computing device or not. If it notices it extremely is a non-apple computing device it is going to stay away from the setting up. Even people who stress the setting up will often have issues of the equipment because of the fact mac osx isn't made to paintings with non-apple desktops. i will't say any further, human beings and companies have been sued or threaten to sue by Apple by getting human beings telling or setting up mac osx on a non-apple computing device as properly as different issues with their products. *EULA stands for end consumer License settlement.

Make sure the refresh didn't get set to more than 65hz. And make sure you don't have the external monitor picked when you're looking at the settings.
