Hi,

Why lower the resolution? If it's due to bad eyesight/hard to read text then theres a user-specific setting in windows about font sizes or monitor DPI's or something that should fix it.

I use 1280x1024 but she's kinda blind so she need HUGE caracters and all... If someone can go a bit deeper in what Jack just told upper I'd appreciate. :)

I'm waiting for Tristan to come on here and tell you that it's a racing SIM, and that in real life, people wouldn't be able to afford to replace the dash gauges with versions that had bigger numbers. Or at least, he doesn't - so therefor no-one else does.

Sorry Tristan - I had to :D
Feel free to :bananadea me now!

Is it easy enough to switch from 'safe mode' to 'normal', because you could maker her go in safe mode whilst she goes on the pc Lol?

Do you have a decent video card, some come with software, with a little icon down in your system tray, if so you can simply click it, go to resolution and instantly change your resolution to anything you like. If you don't have anything like that then I dunno what else to recommend.

Yeh I do, but that still pisses me off! The latest drivers with my 7600GT have this tray icon so it kind of work out... Thanks for the half-help. :D

I had a program similar to this with the drivers on my 6600GT years ago.
