    Hi

    My display settings has options starting from 800x600 upward.
    I need to set it to 600x480, is there a way to do that?
    (my vga card is gforce 4 mx, using windows xp pro)

    Yes - fool Windows into thinking it is a VGA monitor.

    Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Monitor .......... Uninstal/change monitor and reinstall manually, selecting VGA ..... I think :)

    Don't remember the exact details, but I did this for a friend whose eyesight is failing.

    doesn't work for me. after uninstalling my monitor, and use install wizard, it brings back: default monitor.

    I need to see a of resolution of 600x480 to select it. right now, only 800x600 is the minimum available for selection.

    I have investigated further and have a monitor running at 640 x 480. The method used may be specific to my setup which is a Matrox Millenium G550 Dual Head card running 17" and 22" monitors.

    Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Adapter > List all Modes - selected 640 x 480 from the drop down list - done!

    The friend I mentioned has the same setup.

    Hope it works for you with the gforce card.

    it worked!
    thanks so very much indeed, it was very easy instructions from your side indeed. Thanks a zillion times :)

    (btw: I guess your instructions work also with any card, It worked successfully also with an S3 trio3d/2x old card. Super!)
