    It depends on your display. Believe you have the 12.1" display, the "transflective" model with the green-gray colors. That has a native resolution of 800x600 so no way to make it greater except change hardware to the 13.2" standard display with 1024x768 resolution.

    IF you have the 1024x768-capable 13.3" screen, start Win2K and from a blank desktop, Right Click on the desktop, select Properties from the Menu, then select the Settings tab, and move the [Less - More] slider to the resolution you desire: click the Apply button to save the new setting.

    Lol. I repair computers on a daily basis - I know how to do that.
    I was just wondering if there were some specific drivers I needed for going to 1024x768 ;)
    thank you very much anyway :)
    you guys are awesome...

    I specialize in IBM laptop repairs, never taken apart a ToughBook. :p
