September 8, 200619 yr Is it possible to set a higher resolution for the windows installation ?I am trying to install @ 1280*800 as that is my laptop's native resolution, and the installation screen looks much better that way PS: my (nvidia) driver gets installed somewhere at the beginning of the installation
September 9, 200619 yr Even if the gfx driver is installed at the beginning, you have to restart.You could use VidChng in the downloads section of the ua guide and put it in DetachedProgram=res.cmd (in winnt.sif) and in res.cmd put the vidchng.exe -switchesres.cmd goes in $OEM$\$1Or you can use an addon on ryanvm.netPatch: HIVESYS.INFChanges resolution information in HIVESYS.INF to run GUI-mode Setup in 1024x768x32.PatchAddon_HIVESYS.cabMD5: B85E7AADDEE8EF693C4EC921E297D01FSIZE: 604 bytes Edited September 9, 200619 yr by T D
September 9, 200619 yr Author Thx!I already have the HIVESYS reference (installation was 1024x768 before)I will try it with the other thing you said and will let you know the results
September 11, 200619 yr Author Tested it, and it isn't working with VidChng.exe....Also what I forgot to mention in the first post: When I am installing in VMWare, it is installing @ 1280x800, it's only when I'm installing on my laptop itself it isn't working...
September 12, 200619 yr VMware and virtual pc automatically change the resulotion to a fixed rate in 32bit mode, ie not while it is booting, but while it is installing and you are using it. I'm outta ideas, maybe there's some way to mod the cab to run it in a higher res?
September 12, 200619 yr Author I haven't got any idea on modding the cab...If it aint possible, I will stick to the 1024x768 installation screen
September 13, 200619 yr how did you get the 1024x768 screen? id like to put my laptop to that, 640x480 looks terrible on a 14 inch display.
September 15, 200619 yr Author Copying those references should work 1024*768 looks nice on a screen that has such a native resolution, but isn't quite nice no a 1280*800widescreen
October 7, 200619 yr Is it possible to patch the file manually? I mean someone did it so how do I do it?
