    Hello people,

    I have bought the HP HDXT16.
    Its a really good laptop and GTA4 plays smootley.
    But I have a big trouble.
    The native resolution of my laptop is 1920x1080.
    Vista Home x64, 4GB RAM and 9600M GT 512MB.
    All drivers installed and updated.
    I can start SA and redefine controllers.
    But I cant get the res on native res of my laptop.
    I only get the max 1280x1024 and not above.
    It awful, wheels and radar are not round.
    Looks weird.
    Is there any solution for this?

    No, Im sorry to say.
    Im the first unlucky one who got trouble with
    modded drivers.
    I installed these drivers and I got an endless loading bar
    of Vista.
    So I installed Vista whole again.
