IE 7 Resolution problems
Have just installed Windows 7 on the PC tonight and can't get my resolution set up worth a f.uck!!
Every thing was fine on the old set up (XP) with 1024 X 768 resolution
With Windows7 resolution has gone up to 1280 X 768 and nothing seems to work for me, my bloody eyes are killing me now, Have changed everything back to 1024 X 768 but find windows only fills half the screen
Anybody know of any fixes for this?
Yes i still have the same size (17") monitor as well so its not as though I have gone to a bigger monitor either

I've just installed it on a spare drive on "Big Bertha" my media server, it was absolutely painless, it even found the 5200FX drivers for my PCI graphics card, (2nd monitor). Could it be that you need to replace the graphics card drivers with the correct device specific items, rather than a Microsoft work-around ?

Got to admit, comming from XP pro to windows seven has been a dream I'm pretty impressed with it so far

I'm impressed that running in 64-bit mode is so "easy", I expected driver issues all day long.... Can now access all 4 Gb and just need a "decent" graphics card to complete the update. I'm thinking an ATI 5770 will do me fine....
