Hi all. I'm having some trouble with my screen resolution. I have a TNT2 video card installed and the thing is with the drivers windows 2000 installs automatically I can get a resolution of 1280*1024, but with those drivers I dont get openGL support. So when I install the detonator3 drivers to get openGL support, the highest resolution I can choose in the windows display properties is 1024*768. Since I can't get any higher than that in the display properties is there anywhere in the registry I can change this to a higher res?

Resolutions are dependant on the amount of memory in the video card, so if you were able to change the resolution in the registry, you wouldn't be able to boot into the OS. Low your screen colors (16-bit hi color to 256 colors, for example) and you can raise your resolution. Increasing your monitor's refresh rate can also greatly improve the screen sharpness.
