bveld, I don´t know but I don´t see any reason why it would happen again after a format if you install the driver that has the custom res. With a reinstall everything is fresh so if it won´t work it seems like it could be a hardware issue.

Well, thank everyone for all of your help. With the custom rez I added I can my game now has that resolution available, However, there is still one more problem. If I use the custom rez on the desktop it's in panning mode, so part of the screen doesn't show and when I move my mouse there the screen scrolls on the desktop. It is also the same way in the game, so part of the screen is cut off.

When I make the custom resolution of '800x500' I restart my computer, then the resolution is available, when I switch to it, it goes to panning mode. To figure out why it does this, I right clicked the tray icon

display profiles -> configure -> advanced timing options

in the horizontal section is says 'Active | 640 |' and I can't change it. and in the vertical section 'Active | 480 |'. But the resolution is 800x500. this may be why it goes to panning mode. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this.

Also what does it mean in the custom rez section when it gives you the option of checking positive under polarity?


[EDIT]
I didn't want to make another post so I'll put this here.
even though a resolutions width/height=1.6 doesn't mean it works. for example I know 1280x800 works because it's my desktop rez. Then I additionally found '640x400' works. but '800x500' does NOT work, even though 800/500=1.6.
So coult someone suggest other 16:10(1.6) ratios that work or give me some kind of rule that allows me to know if it will work?
