Vista - high resolution virtual desktop?

high resolution virtual desktop?

Some video card driver has a virtual resolution that allows the desktop to
have a higher resolution than the monitor. It would then let you scroll
around in this desktop when you move your mouse to the edges of the monitor.

My current video card driver doesn't have this feature. Is there a vista
compatible software to do this that is independent of the video card?

Re: high resolution virtual desktop?

Vista does not support such a feature natively. I can't say I've heard of
such a utility that didn't come with a video card.
