Yes, I'm quite well aware of where all the properties sheets for these things are. There's also more information available via the Device Manager, but all of it is what Windows detected based on the driver installed, and I'm not sure I trust that information (it's been wrong in other situations). > Choosing that tab, "Quadro FX 3400", gives info about what the adapter > supports, like Open GL, Direct3D, etc. Well, that's obviously either a different version of Windows you're using (I'm on Win2K -- hate WinXP, and would never use it unless forced to), or it's driver-specific. I have no properties sheets that give the modes supported. Phil, I do this kind of thing for a living, so I don't really need instructions from you for how to look up this information, especially when you don't seem to be aware of the aspects of your advice that are OS- and driver-specific. If I gave that kind of advice to my clients, they'd quickly lose confidence in my level of competence. -- David W.
