    ok on windows xp using directx9.0c and the latest nvidia drivers alot of my game's don't support different resolutions. Like in windows vista/7 i could do 640x480,800x600,1024x768,1280x720,1366x768. On xp, however, i can only do 800x600 and 1024x768. This has happened with perfect world, flyff, and all other games that i've played. So is this some sick joke to screw me over? or is this some sort of thing that i can fix. My laptop's display btw is 1366x768 default.

    Have you tried looking for game patches? Worst scenario is to revert back to the last driver that allows you to use different resolutions.

    cheers ...
