this does not work in Winxp ,

@JJXB
Nice program will be useful when i will be playing games on LCD "when" i will be forced to buy a LCD (like this would happen), anyway guess what on the 2d it crashes and on the 3d it writes the same message


guess now i will try winxp Safemode and hope that in this state the default Vga drivers will enable 320x200

eeehhmm ok thanks for your time , but looks like there is a slight language barrier here because i allready said the same thing you just did it in the last post

1."this does not work in Winxp" , Why in Vista you can "pick" Vga or driver in the menu , in Winxp you can only ''Uninstall" "Restart" then "pick" the Vga driver. {and this misses the hole point of this topic aye}

2. "guess now i will try winxp Safemode and hope that in this state the default Vga drivers will enable 320x200" shows the answer right above

anyway thanks for the "battle of the minds" that brought the solution "Safemode is the key for running games in full screen 320x200 resolution"

language barrier? :P you said "it doesn't work" how the heck am i supposed to know what do you mean.

btw you don't have to uinstall it, you can just temporarely disable it, therefore windows will use standart one. that's exactly the same thing as choosing standart driver in vista
