Hello
I just rplaced my 15" big monitor with a flat screen 17".
My xp sp3 resolution choices are 1024x600 up to 1360x768.
During the software installation I think the directions said to set it to 1140x? but I do not have an 1140.
I have tried to scroll for the best reception which seems to be 1024x768 but either the letters are too big or too small although the small are almost acceptable. It is set to 32 bit.
Would moving up to an 18" screen help or is there an other issue to lo consider?
Pc is Dell and the screen is Acer. Money is a factor.Thank you

Boy am I displaying a host of issues.
Yes, I did try all seven choices and only one is close to acceptable. It is a bit too small however.
I will try calling the manufacturer as you suggest.
A 20" screen is only a few more dollars so I will ask if that would help.
Thank you

Before taking any drastic action, in IE, go to view, and enlarge the text size by scrolling down and choosing
"Largest". Then close and open your browser again.

Let us know if that solved your problem.
