No what I mean was that for a 17" monitor a 1024x768res is the default. Usually when you a by a system the screen res is set to the monitor default. :-\

comicGeek, see my earlier post. 800x600 is the **default** resolution on **ALL** new installations of Windows.

Most systems are sold with several options for monitors, so there is no way that they can be preset for the larger because at the time the OS is installed they have no idea what the size of the monitor will be.
