    Hey Everyone,

    I've just got an R3000 that only does 1024x768, and it doesn't have that nifty virtual resolution thing that lets you set your resolution to something really high and then just slide your desktop around on the screen. I know lots of people don't like it, but for me its great because I do a lot of work in Flash which is miserably claustrophobic on a 1024x768 screen.

    Does anyone know where I can get a utility that will let me do this? Also, just to be clear, I'm not talking about doing multiple desktops, there are a gazillion of those at download.com...

    Thanks :eek:)

    I don't know if XP supports this feature. I checked both my notebook and desktop and have found that this feature is not available for both units. My desktop with an ATI 9800 Pro and my notebook with an old S3 video card. Changing the monitor types will not make a difference (tried on my desktop as a test). I think it's just something that was included with the OS's before 2000/XP.
