skibsy Member Posts: 251 From:London Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 12-10-2001 11:30 AM The editor needs to be run un 1024x768 resolution. Have you been able to set your desktop to this resolution before or is it only recently you havn't been able to do so? Try setting your desktop to this res,make sure you click on apply then click OK. If it doesn't work, either your monitor isn't capable of 1024x768 (older ones ain't), or there is a problem with your video card drivers....Make sure you have the most up to date drivers. Also when running the editor in order to view it properley ,hit ALT + ENTER together .This will make buttons that should be visible at the bottom appear if they are not there, providing you are in 1024x768 res. Try the above, see if it helps...if not post back. IP: Logged

psiko Member Posts: 756 From:unconsciousness Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 12-10-2001 03:19 PM what kind of monitor do you have? I have two pc's and my old one is a 14" but it can have the 1024x768 resolution too... anyhow try 1024 x768 with 16 bit (65,000 colours) this works to me and with less bits you can have a higher resolution with old videocard.

Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 450 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 12-10-2001 09:14 PM suggest you check you have latest drivers for video card Also check refresh rate set for monitor - you could be trying to refresh at a higher or lower rate than the monitor is capable of ------------------ Conan the Barbarian email: conanthebarbarian@ntlworld.com a.k.a.

aktrekker Member Posts: 796 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 12-11-2001 02:31 AM A 14" monitor might not be able to display 1024x768. In fact, I don't remember one that could. If you can afford a voodoo3 card, you might want to also upgrade your monitor. A whopping 15" is under $100 now. IP: Logged
Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 450 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 12-11-2001 02:05 PM I don't want to appear to be bragging but 15" is not whopping 14" is archaic 15" is bearable 17" is adequate 19" is Kewel 21" is Mmmm > 21" is Nirvana!

aktrekker Member Posts: 796 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 12-12-2001 11:08 AM It was a joke. I have a 19" Viewsonic, sharp as a needle at 1600x1200. DVDs look unbelievable. IP: Logged

aktrekker Member Posts: 796 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 12-13-2001 11:08 AM And don't forget to make your task bar (at the bottom of the screen) auto-hide. It gives a little more screen space. IP: Logged
