I just reinstalled windows and installed the monitor driver first. So I can't say exactly what solved the issue, but I think it's the driver installation order.

Hey, it seems to work now Thank you for your help!

I'll install a fresh copy of win98 next weekend, haven't tried your suggestions up to now, but i'll reply here whether i was successful or not.

It just seems that everything i do regarding the monitor driver seems to be ignored ... installing the official monitor driver - still the same disabling PnP - no change installing other monitor drivers - also ignored The weird thing is that even if i set the official driver, i can still set almost every resolution, including not supported ones.

I just see the monitor type (Plug n Play) and three checkboxes (Plug n Play, reset on standby and energy management). In the registry are around 4 monitors, but only one has a MaxResolution string that fits the resolution of my monitor. The other don't have such a value. The "real" resolution is limited to 1280x1024, no matter what monitor driver is currently in use.

Already did almost every possible solution regarding the monitor driver. It does not seem to affect my problem, even if I set a low reolution driver, eg a VGA one. My Monitor is an EIZO FS 2332 capable of 1920x1080px. The Display modes settings tab does not exist for me . I'm a little bit confused, because even if i set an XGA Monitor driver, i still can choose higher resolutions in the display properties.

Hmm, it seems that additional Monitors can't be disabled because they are not attached. It looks like they are already disabled.

Tested it with all the drivers, while WMD ones worked fine, VXD's displayed everything well up to the direct3d 9 test. So after I accepted the message telling me that d3d 9 will be tested, the screen went black for a moment and the DirectX config closed without any error message (same happened with dx9 games). I'll try to disable additional monitor support when I'm at home.

Just tried the ultilities you've mentioned, but the same problem occurs. This resolution "bug" seems to start with the WDM driver model. It's quite strange that all the VXD drivers doesn't support DX9, there is not even an error

Hey there, after my win98 machine is finally up and running, there are some problems with the resolution. I can not set it the way i'd like to, because every resolution beyond 1280x1024 is only virtual. That means that the desktop is larger, but you have to scroll around it. I only experience it with newer ati drivers, older ones seems to work fine. But these won't allow DirectX 9 and every game that uses it crashes. So i either need fix to DirectX or the Resolution. I already tried custom monitor drivers, but they did not help. The video card used is an ATI Radeon 9250 PCI. Hope there is any solution!
