Hi again,
I have a great form that schedules jobs for a client. It was built back
when myself and client were on Vista and was coded specifically for client's
1680 x 1050 screen resolution. Client (and myself) are now running Win 7
machines and this resolution is no longer available!! Max we can set to is
1366 x 768...
I'm trying to obviously avoid a rewrite of this form for a new resolution as
there is a lot of the form that's built in code and there's grids with
column widths that get set etc.... and wondering if any of you have
encountered this little doozie before. If so, can I force Windows to go to
a higher res in any way?
TIA,
Tina

I doubt that it's Windows 7 that's the issue, unless it's a driver
problem. Are these new Windows 7 boxes that have a different video
adapter in them from the Vista box? You'll need a card capable of
displaying the required resolution, you can't make it do something
it's not designed for or doesn't have a driver capable of that
resolution.

The monitor may not be able to handle it, even if you do force it above.
Change the form size to a smaller in design time, without moving any
controls. It should work with scrollbars until you are able to resize,
rearrange things.

Hi Fred,
Thanks for that. Both machines were running Vista and were running
1680x1050, so I know the graphics card is capable of the resolution. It's
just that now Win 7 Screen Resolution doesn't give me that option anymore.
I suspect it's a driver problem and have crawled the internet for a fix, but
best I can find is creating a new driver altogether that forces the res I
want. Though I have every faith in System Restore, I think I'll give this a
fat miss and just redesign the form!
I've learnt the hard way that smoke can and does happen when you mess with
stuff you don't know enough about... LOL

I find it strange that if the screen and graphics hardware can handle
the resolution, and the Vista driver could also handle it, that Windows
7 can't. Have you tried using the Vista driver on Windows 7?

Hi Alan,
I haven't tried it - but will give it a go. Only thing is then I have to do
the same thing for all the computers on client network...
I think Windows 7 CAN handle it - it just chooses not to. LOL :-)

How big are the monitors? I have 1680x1050 available in Win 7, but I've
got a 26" wide-screen monitor (and run at 1920x1200)! Note that these
are wide-screen resolutions. Is it possible that Win 7 makes some
different checks on the hardware configuration than Vista did?
Anyway, pretty cheap and easy to try a different monitor.

Tina,
It might be the monitor driver that is being the trouble. Not the video
card.
Right Click the Desktop, Screen Resolution, Advanced Settings, Monitor tab.
You might have a "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" option. My
laptops do not allow this to be changed. My desktop does.

I do have this option - and yes, running I'm running from a notebook and it
is unavailable too.
