No loss, unless you like desktops bigger than your visible screen that scroll in (to me) incomprehensible ways. I have colleagues that love it. I have colleagues that are crazy. Also known as virtual resolution. I am in the 'love it' crowd. Not actually a crowd. In our group about one in ten like it. I prioritize my screen..keeping the primary applications visible and a wide vertical Start menu out of view to the right. Browsers are extended downward minimizing the need to scroll longer posts. Virtual resolution works in NT and Win95 but I can't stand it in Win98..multimonitor support messed it up (WRT matrox drivers, perhaps others have better virtual resolution in Win98) Zeuspaul

Spots I do not have the fortitude to advise on that one at the moment Totally understandable... Chances are all you're missing is the matrox power desk, which I don't like myself Matrox PowerDesk is loaded from the cd install so I have it in both nt and (98 from the successful driver update in 98). It is rather weird. I'll avoid it for now. Bigger fish to fry. By all means stick with the driver that works versus the one that doesn't. I agree...I've got the g200 working under different driver versions in nt and 98. I've got all the resolutions necessary and all the refresh rates necessary though not all that are specified as supported by Nokia. And I've got a good preliminary taste of display/vid card config issues that I will get back to later. But since my video dept is basically online and open for business I want to move on. Do you think I should install service pack 3 (or4) now? Or first get my backup nt installed and a clone of 98 onto the primary drive as we were discussing before this monitor/g200 business? Clarence
