Andy - When I changed from 1024x768 to 800x600, and saved the change, JFW stopped seeing lots of things, just saying blank; I think when the resolution gets changed, other settings get changed automatically too, and that affects JFW's functionality.- Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Logue" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2007 3:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Screen resolution and colour Hi Andy and all interested in this thread. I thought that I would try moving the resolution on my computer up from 800 by 600 to 1024 768 pixels, to see if more of the screen was displayed, and guess what? When I clicked OK, my computer crashed and re-booted. I attempted this again, and again my computer didn't like it, so I'm unable to change from 800 by 600. Strange or what eh? Best wishes.
