| As well as the capabilities of the video card, Win95 also looks at what
(it thinks) the monitor is capable of. Microsoft doesn't ship
information files for the VRC16, so you must be using either a
home-grown info file, or telling Win95 that the monitor is something
else. Check whether whichever info file you're using allows
1024x768NI.

There is a VRC16.inf file in the Windows95 notesfile. It's in
Note 905 someplace. Use this to tell Win95 what the monitor is
capable of.
Right-click background, Properties, Settings Tab, Change
Display Type, Change Monitor Type, Have Disk, etc.. Point
it at the VRC16.inf file.

Be a bit careful with this file. There were two different versions of
the VRC16, which differed in their bandwidths. The VRC16.inf in the
conference only describes the newer (better) version, and if you usew
this file with an older VRC16, you might end up driving it faster than
it can handle (which isn't a good idea with the VRC16 - it seems to be
quite easy to kill it).
If you do have an older VRC16, you'd be safer editing the VRC16.inf to
reflect the true capabilities of your monitor. The format of the file
should be fairly obvious, and you can probably find the purchase specs
of the original VRC16 in the DECstation conference.

| I tried the .inf, it didn't make any difference.

| Well I found the specs, I had the -HA model, and it appears the
settings used in the .inf that's floating around are way to high,
setting them lower means I can now run at 1024x768 with 70hz.
Cheers,

| Can you post the updated INF file you created here?
(I'm sure other will benefit)
