    I got a P-7805u (1440 X 900 )

    When I Try to run 3DMark it says "Requires 1280 X 1024 supported monitor.

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Does 3D Mark only work on the 1920 Displays?

    I'm begging to not like this laptop.

    If you have a 1440x900 screen, you must use external monitor. Sorry :) Even if ya buy the program, it won't work. Don't be fooled by propaganda. Either external monitor, or give it up.

    If you purchase it can you run at a lower resolution? Problem then though I guess is you are comparing apples to oranges when everyone else is benching at the default resolution...............
