I reinstalled Windows XP and reformatted my hard drive after a bad experiance. It lets me set my monitor at 1600 X 1024 and offers greater resolution that I cannot realize. Then after loading some “safe” software such as iTunes, Spywareblaster or such it let’s me continue under the same resolution, but when I log back in it limits my resoultion to something like 1024 x 764 and dosen’t let me choose any higher resolutions. I can get back by going to my saved settings but it is getting to be a pain.
May I piggy-back on this thread with another Windows XP monitor related question? There are so many computer question threads already I thought we could have one less if I just ask in here where hopefully there will be some knowlegable computer types already present.
Please address the OP first by all means.
Here is my issue: I have set and reset my power saving options but they don’t seem to register. I have tried to have my monitor turn off (and the whole comp go into standby mode) at 1 hour, a half hour, and even 15 minutes settings. And still after I come home from work the screensaver is still screen-saving. How can I get this thing to go to sleep so I can save some bux on my power bill??
I no longer have an ATI board. I have an MSI FX5600. I believe that you are on the right path but it is late and the first disk I put in led to the same problem. Any MSI FX5600 users out there? thanks.
