getting 1440 x 900 native resolution - xxx_

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.

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.

The only way to tell is to download the drivers and install them..

I also have a widescreen monitor and need 1440 x 900

Though windows may install the video controller OK and it will work...
to get all possible resolution choices you do need to go to the Intel
website and get their drivers.
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 - xxx_

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?

The best thing to do is go to display properties...

settings...advanced...adaptor

then: list all modes


hopefully there will be a setting for 1440 x 900.

If there isn't...then you will have to install an AGP video card that can
support that resolution
