    hi guys
    i have x850xt ati radeon
    and i guess 20-22 inch monitor KDS USA
    but i cant make resolution higher than 1280x1024,coz
    when i go to desktop-> properties-> settings
    there two monitors 1 and 2
    plug and play and default
    and plug and play has max resolution 1280x1024
    and i cant make 2nd default
    what do i gotta do to get 1600x1200 or higher, coz i know my monitor can do it
    it sound kinda confusing - but i hope anybody can help me.
    any help will be apreciated - thanks

    That might be a driver limitation when operating two monitors. You can determine that by just using the one that goes to 1600.

    try switching the actual physical connection to the card from one hookup to another. that can make a difference with some cards...i'm not sure with yours.
