Jeroeneke Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 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
T D Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) 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.net Quote Patch: HIVESYS.INFChanges resolution information in HIVESYS.INF to run GUI-mode Setup in 1024x768x32.PatchAddon_HIVESYS.cabMD5: B85E7AADDEE8EF693C4EC921E297D01FSIZE: 604 bytes Edited September 9, 2006 by T D
Jeroeneke Posted September 9, 2006 Author Posted September 9, 2006 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
Jeroeneke Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 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...
T D Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 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?
Jeroeneke Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 I haven't got any idea on modding the cab...If it aint possible, I will stick to the 1024x768 installation screen
prx984 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 how did you get the 1024x768 screen? id like to put my laptop to that, 640x480 looks terrible on a 14 inch display.
T D Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Integrate the cab in my above post in nlite or RVM.
prx984 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 thanks, do i just extract the inf file and put it in the i386 directory?
Jeroeneke Posted September 15, 2006 Author Posted September 15, 2006 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
jpless Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Is it possible to patch the file manually? I mean someone did it so how do I do it?
