Display settings

I have read through this thread and have seen my question touched on but not
answered, so here it goes.

I cannot change my display setting off of 800 by 600.

I have a IBM think Center, 2.4ghz, 1 gig of ram, LCD monitor, NVIDIA Gforce
5200 with 256 ram ( Microsoft Coropration-WDDM beside my graphics card under
device manager),with Windows Vista (Beta 2) was done on a clean intasll.

I have gone into display settings numerous time to change this to no avail.
I also have gone into display settings (advanced settings under list all
modes) to no avail.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

RE: Display settings

I did also have that problem. I have a normal monitor and a tv conected to my
graphics card. I had to enable the tv-out and extend the desktop to the tv,
before I could set the display setting I wanted for my monitor. If I restart
the display is back to 800X600, and I have to again extend the desktop.

RE: Display settings

I think I found a work around to this proble. Everytime I start Windows
Vista, It reverts to 800 by 600 resolution then I have to fiddle around to
try yo get it back to the rsolution I want then restart & choose start
windows with the last known good configuration, Windows Vista boots up into
the resolution I want.

I know it doesn't fix the problem but atleast it's a work around till the
issue is addressed.

I found out that if I shut windows down with the correct resolution that I
want
