Laptop cant support HighRes?

Hey,
I just bought myself what I thought was a good used laptop off someone and when I change the resolution higher so the stuff gets smaller the damm thing goes dim. Its not the brightness nor the contrast because i tried both of that. Any Idea?

well normally stuff gets smaller. the dimeness might mean you need to play with your color settings. and adjust teh gamma.

How would I mess with the color and gamma? I know stuff is sopose to get smaller that is what I want, but it gets extremely dim..

it's in the same thing where you adjust res. just to the left, goto 32 bit mode.. and gamma i belive is adjustable on your monitor which varries from labtop to labtop.

I think the Video Card is just messed up and cant support high Res because I attached it to my desktop monitor and it just turns off... and the color doesnt help and no idea about gamma.. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

or maybe some faulty connection.
i don't really think trying to reapair a laptop by yourself is a good idea all those small parts and clips.

are you sure the CRT moniter supports the high res of the laptop TFT? and check the manufacturer, it could be a faulty laptop.

also what res are you trying to achieve and with what size TFT (inches). a 14" moniter will get 1280x1024 and a 15" maybe 1600x1200.

The highest I can get my laptops is 1024. The screens usually have a limit, which is much lower that the big-assed monitors.
