Running at 640x480

Ahh, yes, sorry about that. (16bit!)
Will check for box when I get home though.

Just got to work, gotta work all night.
Thanks.

Edit - just realized something funny:Check for (Check)box! *L*

Nope that didn't solve the problem.
I can have a different resolution for the desktop and the screen. But the memory restricts the desktop from being bigger than 640x480 with more colours than 256 (1M video memory).
I can set the screen size to 640x480 and the desktop to 800x600 with 256 colours. But when I try to set 65k colours it turns back to 640x480.

Shouldn't I be able to use 800x600 with 65K colours with 1M memory? I thought so.
Another weird thing is that I only can choose between 256 or 65K colours, not 16 or anything else.
Irritating

Ugh. I guess maybe you need a new laptop SE4, since you probably won't be able to find upgrades for something that old.

I've found the latest drivers for Win95. Those are as good as they get as they are revised several times.
The system shoudl work fine and as it runs SE4 I see no need to upgrade.
I usually run things on my desktop but I'll be away soon and will miss some PBW turns if I can't get this to work.

It shall work. I won't give up!
