Should we accommodate 800x600?

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.

CG they are right aobut the defautl thing. Regardless of your monitor size defautl the OS takes over on install and the defualt install res is 800x600.

Okay. But here when we buy pc we always get a window OS package with complete with the settings already.
