Hi.

Got a crappy old intel Celery PC with intergrated crappy Intel 810 graphics or something and I need to force 1366x768 or w/e the widescreen res is for a 720P 37" TV. but I am unsure how to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Plugged in via VGA? Does it not detect that it has that resolution?

No it dont.

Its not a standard res that is it, this computer is from like the year 2000, its an Emachines 150DVD with intergrated graphics on an Intel 810i mobo.

Yes its plugged in Via VGA.

Install the latest drivers from intel.co.uk
If this doesn't work, try using powerstrip: www.entechtaiwan.com/ps.htm
