    Hey folks, I recently upgraded from Win2K to Xp Home and I have a minor problem. My wife has a game (hoyle Texan Holdem) which she likes to play but she prefers to play with a screen resolution of 640X480. XP only has a minimum 800X600 on the desktop, properties, settings selection. is there a way to force 640X480 resolution so she can happily play her game?

    Thanks

    Mitchell

    Try this route ....

    Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Adaptor and click on the List all modes button. 640 x 480 should be shown - click on it and OK out.
