Hello.
I cannot get my desktop computer to get a screen resoltion above 800x600. My vid card has been found and is corret and my dell monitor is selected. I get 1024x768 via XP. What is the deal you think? .... .It is not even listed as an option. I know the monitor and card can 'handle' it since it does it under xp.
There are BIOS bugs that can cause this problem. You might need to upgrade the BIOS. I had this problem on a newer Dell.
Also there is a legacy video setting that is set to 1 mb in the BIOS. This setting needs (or should) be set to 8 MB.
I'm not sure as to what make of computer you have or video card. But Dell BIOS A04 from their website for one of the optiplex w/ an 865G video card did not work for higher resolutions before upgrading the BIOS and changing the video legacy settings.
