Jun-21-01, 12:31 PM (EST) "Laptop peculiarity - can't get 1024 x 768" I'm running MSTS on my desktop machine without major problems at 1024 X 768. However, on my laptop (which is definitely set at 1024 x 768) when I start the program it opens in 800 x 680. The pull-down menu in the Options Display tab doesn't even list anything larger than 800 x 680.It is a new Dell Inspiron 4000, with a Rage Mobility-128 video card.Thanks in advance for any ideas!Rob Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

You can check with ATI for an updated driver, but considering your specs, you probably shouldn't be trying to run it in 1024x768 anyway, as your framerates would be too low. - Matt D.
