nah, the ones that are set for a smaller resolution will just have extra space along the sides and bottom on occasion, it won't affect your enjoyment really.
go to your control panel, display, and then hardware or settings I think...its one of the tabs at the top of the display window (I'm assuming you are running windows) and then push the slider on the resolution thing to the right...not too far though, because your screen will go staticky and I'll have to tell you how to boot it in safe mode.

In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: Yeah I know, but what the fukk do I know about assembling a bike from scratch?? Who could I have found to help me do something like that? :roll: :roll: :roll: Dude, that would be ME. ;-) there ain't no mystery, you bring the boxes of parts, and the beer, and I'll be happy to walk you through it. you can even use all my tools. ...and besides, it ain't from scratch, all the parts are THERE!!!. it's only difficult when you start fabricating stuff...THAT'S from scratch... Yeah well i didn't know YOU last July, now did I??? And I should say, he TOLD me all the parts were there, and I saw the pieces, all the major stuff was, but I can't guarantee there wouldn't have been SOME fab work. Thank god for the Discovery Channel, I'm pretty sure I could build a bike from scratch now. :wink: :wink: 8)
dude we climbed last july.. ;-)
you should come hang at my g'raj...disassembled bikes, gas welding equipment, a compressor and air tools, a race kart..
it's such a MANS environment ;-)
boys fort, no girls allowed! ;-)
I can fab stuf too...I built my own custom designed hard luggage for my old Honda Interceptor...two side bags and a top box, metal frames, detachable, lockable etc etc.. ;-) I've had to make a bunch of brackets for the race kart over the years, and I scratch built a bike engined dirt buggy, meaning I desiged and welded up the frame from raw tubing...

In reply to: In reply to: not too far though, because your screen will go staticky and I'll have to tell you how to boot it in safe mode. Remember that windows will ask you to confirm the changes before it makes them permant. If you mess up, wait 15 seconds and Windows will fix it automatically. (One of the few things Windows does well.)
yeah, now it does! not back when I managed to screw it up on win 95...

INDEED.
I liked when micron help desk asked me "maam, is your monitor plugged in and on?" in response to "hi, I screwed up my resolution and the monitor is all staticky now, I think I need to boot in safe mode, how do I do that?"

Gotta love dumb helpdesk people.
There are dumb users too though. I once had a guy try to reboot his computer buy turning off his monitor and turning it back on again.
