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 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.
