<< I just installed an ATI Xclaim GA in my 7500 and for the life of me I can't get it to stay in one particular desktop setting, sometimes I gives me the options of 1024x768 other times its stuck in 640x480...I can't load the drivers because it says that I don't have an ATI card hooked up...well I do, and I'm looking at it right now! anyone had similar problems? sometimes I set it at 1024 and I power down, turn back on, 640 again...what gives? Josh>> Part of the problem could be your Monitors & Sound Preferences are corrupt. Try trashing the "Monitors & Sound Preferences" folder located in your preferences folder. Probably good idea to trash any ATI pref's as well. When you restart open Monitors & Sound Control Panel and set to the desired resolution. I had a similar problem with a 21" Radius after I installed a third party video card in my 7300 running OS 8.6. It keep defaulting to 604x480 on restart 640x480 on a 21" monitor is no fun.
