From: xxx_ on 9 Jan 2008 08:07 My dad's computer is attached to a LG 194WT widescreen LCD with a native resolution of 1440 x 900 and the highest resolution he can get is 1280 x 720 with "Intel 740 Compatible graphics adapter" graphics card. Will updating the driver get the native resolution? The same problem goes for my computer which has integrated Intel Graphics Controller 82865G but it does not affect me as I use a CRT monitor.
From: Bob I on 9 Jan 2008 08:25 If it is TRULY compatible AND the newer driver supports it then yes, as the real Intel 740 will go up to 1600x1200. Visit the manufacturers web site for this "graphics adapter" and download and install the newer driver. xxx_ wrote: > My dad's computer is attached to a LG 194WT widescreen LCD with a native > resolution of 1440 x 900 and the highest resolution he can get is 1280 x > 720 with "Intel 740 Compatible graphics adapter" graphics card.

The only way to tell is to download the drivers and install them.. -- Mike Hall - MVP http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

I am pretty sure that controller will do 1440 x 900

The drivers found on Intel's website are for Windows 9x and Windows 2000 and the drivers I am using are already the ones found on Intel's website just that these were included on the Windows XP installation. It seems that there are no later drivers for Intel740 Compatible Graphics Adapter. If I use the default VGA drivers used in safe mode, will I get 1440 x 900 and how do I use the default drivers used in safe mode?
