    Hi all. I recently purchased the orange box because of a review by Forerunner here. It is probably the best $50 gaming purchase I've made in years.

    However, I thought it was strange that I was only able to get resolution settings up to 1152x864. Is this a driver issue? I'm using the beta 169.04 drivers from laptop2go. Maybe I need to modify the inf file so the "standard" resolutions show up and re-install the drivers?

    Just wondering if someone else has seen this behavior.

    Thanks

    This may be too obvious, but I too was momentarily confused when I couldn't up my res, until I noticed I had to first select the appropriate screen ratio of 4:3 or 16:9 or 16:10 to get the higher res options. It's on the same screen as the tab for changing the res itself - hope that helps.
