rventura23 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I recently bought a dell wide screen monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution, but the video card on my ibm laptop does not support this resolution so it distorts the image. does anyone know how to add a resolution to computer's settings?

FlaSoxxJim Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 New video card?? Maybe new drivers will do it if the drivers are out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read that in Windows XP you have to make sure you get the latest drivers because the default drivers may not have multi-monitor support. So try that first. Disclaimer: As a mac guy, i've enjoyed multiple-monitor support since forever, so I'm not necessarily the best source of information.
