Problem changing desktop resolution

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Hi,

The higher u set the resolution the quality decreases.
And so you can adjust the computer to display only modes possible to ur
screen.
right click on the desktop and then choose properties.
click on the last tab where u set the resolution.
ensure that the color quality is highest (32 bit)
click on advanced button
clik on the monitor and then check this box "hide modes that this monitor
cannot display"
then tweak with the refresh rate untill u see the quality that suites you.
