    Hi all,

    I have a small problem with the game PES 2008 working on my lappy X205-S9359. The problem is I can not get the game working with the native resolution which is 1680x1050 for this laptop. I am using the stock drivers came with the machine. What would be causing this? Is it a driver issue? :confused:
    Thanks in advance.

    What do you mean you can't get it to work? Is the res not available to choose, does it not work when you select it?

    Oh sorry. I should have made it clear. Yes the resolution is not available to choose. The highest res. I can choose in the game settings is 1280x1024! What is causing this?

    Try upgrading the drivers. Also, that resolution is a regular 4:3 aspect ratio. Your screen is 16:10 ratio, so of course you're not gonna find your resolution under those settings. Try to see if you can change the aspect ratio of resolutions, as this will give you a choice of widescreen resolutions and with the updated drivers you should find the right one.

    Thank you adinu I will try that.
    About the aspect ratio, in the game settings 16:10 ratio is already selected but I think the problem is as I can't change the scaling under ''change flat panel scaling'' in the Nvidia control panel. Whatever I choose in there, it goes back to ''use my display's built-in scaling'' option.Do you think that's why I can't see 1680x1050 resolution in my game?
