I don't have a VGA resolution device. However I think maybe you're seeing a compatibility "feature" that allows legacy apps to "look good" on VGA screens. Perhaps the OS is doubling the effective resolution because your app hasn't made a special call or have a bit set in it's PE header that tells the OS "hey, I grok 640x480". -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax http://www.wecanstopspam.org/ AOL-IM: BKClements _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
