    Display Resloution


    When I go to some forum the banner/header and navigation get messed up and someone suggested it could be a screen resolution problem and I was wondering what resolution should my resolution be set to? Currently it is set to 1024 X 768.

    Hi cgrim29588.

    It is possible for your monitor resolution to affect how a web site appears when you view it.

    What monitor are you currently using? (Make,model,size):)

    Yes it is possible it is affecting web pages I view.

    I don't know the size or model all I know is it is made by Compaq

    Here is a picture of my monitor:

    Thanks cgrim29588.:)

    If you right click anywhere on your desktop you will be presented with a few options, one of which is "Screen resolution". This will give you the ability to adjust your resolution from "high" to "low" and a few settings in between.

    Try the different settings until you find one which presents the pages you are trying to view in the best possible way.

    I only can move it to 3 resolutions:

    1280 X 1024 Highest
    1024 X 768 Current Setting
    800 X 600 Lowest

    I know I don't and I need to upgrade my graphics card/adapter. My current graphics card/adapter is: Generic PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.
