That is where I am myself confused. Lower resolutions were set up by the

I loaded the latest bios version from intel, but that was 2-3 months

But reading your mail gave me ideas. I installed winows xp to see if I
could set the req screen resolution and I could.

model runs on 65 and I couldn't change that as no other option was
available.

if needed.
