Sorry the %26quot;cannot display%26quot; message comes from your monitor. LCD's are limited in what resolutions they can display. you might try 1024x768 or 1240x768 if you have a widescreen for your LCD.HELP!!! how do you change the screen resolution from 800 by 600 to1600 by 1200 on my pc?
It sounds like it it is a drivers issue with your video card. You would have to update them for it to workHELP!!! how do you change the screen resolution from 800 by 600 to1600 by 1200 on my pc?
You may need to install/update your video drivers first.HELP!!! how do you change the screen resolution from 800 by 600 to1600 by 1200 on my pc?
Control Panel%26gt;display%26gt; setting then you can change it to what you need by simply dragging the arrow to your desired resolution.



Good luckHELP!!! how do you change the screen resolution from 800 by 600 to1600 by 1200 on my pc?
What operating system are you using? Since you did not specify, I will use Windows XP as an example, but Windows 98, ME, 2000 and Vista should be similar. Before you start changing the screen resolution, ask and answer, the following

questions:



1. Does my video adapter support the 1600x1200 resolution and do I have the proper drivers installed?



2. Does my display monitor support 1600x1200 resolution and do I have the proper drivers installed?



Since you are seeing the default monitor as your monitor type, you will need to load at least the monitor driver. You need to get these from the manufacturer's website or the disk provided with the computer and monitor.

After you have loaded the correct drivers for the video adapter and the monitor, go to your display properties page, click on the settings tab. Click on the advanced button. Click on the Monitor tab. You should see your monitor displayed as the monitor type. If not, try to get updated monitor drivers to the latest version or you may have installed the wrong monitor driver.

If you see your monitor displayed as the monitor type, click on the adapter tab at the top. Click on the %26quot;List all modes...%26quot; button. Verify that the 1600x1200 display mode is shown in the %26quot;List of valid modes%26quot; window. If not, and you have the correct video adapter drivers installed, your video adapter probably does not support 1600x1200 resolution.



If you have more information on your computrer, I could probably help you better.



Good Luck,
