laptop display - 15th Jun 2010 7:42pm
The machine I use most often is a laptop with an 11" screen (Medion MD 96400). The hard disk C: drive was rapidly running out of space ie space left was measured in MB not GB!
There is a D: partition containing all the backup files and with 14GB free but resizing the partitions is not something I have done before (well, not for ages) so rightly or wrongly I decided to accept the Win XP option of "compress the drive to save disk space" and applied that to drive C:
Sure it took some time but it does now give me 6.6GB of free space on C:
Everything else seems to work OK except the screen resolution
Normally I use the Control Panel display function to have the resolution at 1280 x 1024
That option now seems to have "gone". The only resolutions offered by the Display function are 800x600 or 1024 x 768. There USED to be several more resolution options but they have gone.
1024 x 768 does not seem good enough
What have I done?
Who has stolen my "resolutions"
Any advice?
(apart from reverse the disk compress - if that is possible - and change the partitions or add another external disk)
Snod
