How to get 640 x 480 in XP
Hi all, I was wondering if it's at all possible to get the resolution on my system down to 640 x 480, since I have a GeForce2 , even the basic MS drivers put the system to a minimum resolution of 800 x 600, and I have no access to anything lower.
Hi all,

The reason I want to do this is for tv-out, the cheap Chrontel tv-out chip on my card cuts the right side of the screen off when displaying on my tv when it displays 800 x 600. I had this same problem when I ran win2k, but it was fine @ 640 x 480, and to be honest, on a tv it's pretty much impossible to tell the difference as far as quality of picture goes between the two resolutions.
Anything you guys can suggest would be great, I can't seem to find any info in this anywhere. I guess it's a little strange for someone to want to go to a lower resolution, but the side of the picture being cut off is a real pain.

Yeah, that I know, but this is different.
I can set the display to 640x480 on my monitor, but then I go devices and switch over to my tv, and it reverts back to 800x600, and the All Modes button is greyed out so all I can choose is 800x600.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is no solution, but is just bugs me cause it worked fine under win2k.
Anyway thanks.
