[Solved] Cannot Adjust Resolution.

Post by davethewave »

I have a program that says I MUST run in 1024x768. I have a 14 inch wide screen monitor running at it's max of 1280 by 800 on the Host. I am unable to get the guest to be 1024x768 and have been dragging the screen around trying for over an hour. Can anyone tell me how to do this easy? I am unable to use the program until I get 1024x768 :(

My XP guest offers 1024x768 as one of the standard settings on the screen resolutions slider (right click on desktop, properties, settings). Does yours not?

What kind of software only supports one (obsolete) display size?

Oh it's ok, I figured it out. after setting my Host display to 1024x768 then making the Guest full screen I could set it to 1024x768.

The program was RPGmaker
