i have win xp pro and i am running two monitors. one is a crappy ps1 monitor that only handles 640x480 res...i have changed it in xp so it is at that instead of 8x6, but how do i make it display the boot screen at 640x480??? alternatively, can i display my boot screen on my 19 inch? i have two video cards and my bios defaults to the pci (ps1 monitor) and thusly displays the boots screen on the little ps1 14 inch. i just use it to keep my winamp playlist always open. thanks

Heres a little trick for ya. That monitor WILL display 800x600 if you set the refresh rate to 60Hz. Also you can fool the computer by telling it that its a Compaq Presario v50 color monitor.God those PS1 monitors suck don't they.
