Alex's Tweaks for You #2

[Alejandro]

I figured it be difficult to keep up with one single thread so I will start a new one every week or so.

Resolution ANY size you want

Normally Windows limits you to certaint setting on the resolution. Some times depending on the Video Card you have. I have found a tweak that will allow you to set it to any size you want. 1024x876 could be 1111x123 ANYTHING you want. This is fun, but remember to back-up the registry before :)

Lets start by opening regedit
Make your way to HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO\{Address of primary video card}\0000\
when there find "DefaultSettings.XResolution" this is your Y axis. Edit the decmal value to anything you want. Then find "DefaultSettings.YResolution" abviously that is your X axis.....make that anything you want.

NOTE* This tweak has only been tried in XP and I am not certaint if it will work with another OS. Also I have tried resolution as low as 200x200 and that didnt work, I had to access safe mode and change it back so becareful and be resonable with the resolution. Also have tried 2000x2000 and that didnt work either......so I guess this tweak doesnt really change it to anything you want but mostly anything :D

Feedback if you try this would be appreciate it :)

Just a note about this... It won't work outside the bounds of your monitor's resolutions... It won't work if you try anything higher than the maximum resolution you can set with the slider. It may work a bit lower than 640x480, but everything would be REALLY BIG that way :)

Nice Tip Alex!
