How to enable 640x480 on Windows Xp/Server 2003

When I installed the nVidia drivers it put me in 800*600 but I have the computer in question attached to a TV and I want to get the res back to 640 so it's easier to read. Anyone have a solution?.

I'm not sure about Server 2003, but in XP what I did is goto Display Properties>Adanced>Adapter, and hit the "List All Modes" button...you can then choose the one you want from there...hope this helps!

also increase your windows fonts to 14 point or higher, this will help alot with visual qwuality and reading.

yeah, the ones in appearence are all the once i changed, windows like IE and MSN and explorer show up large, save boxes not sure - but i know windows so well by heart i often dont' read most of the boes...

just make sure all fonts are set large under appeareance.
