I cant change my resolution :(, its stuck on 648x480.
Right, i have a ATI Rage Pro, i downloaded the latest drivers.

It worked perfectly on Win ME, but not on XP, is there a file that needs editing to let me change my resolutionto atleast 800x600 ?

I had that type of prob with my savage 2k.
I knew i could have higher resolution then 800x600 cuz XP had me at 1024x768. So i changed the monitor type to one i KNEW could support 1024x768.

and heres how

Right-click the desktop
Go to properties
Settings
Advanced
Monitor
Change

Pick the monitor (IBM 8514 can support the 1024x768)

But be careful. This could be harmful, I had no problem but you may. So at your own risk please
