Re: Best resolution for video

Thanks Austin,

.... in fact a considerable amount of digging around found a parameter in the
NVIDIA driver settings that makes the remote screen attached to the laptop
VGA port show video full screen. So if a PowerPoint presentation has a video
clip it will cause a resync for resolution and speed when it is run.

Having stopped that happening everything is as I hoped for. Modern laptops
are getting too smart for themselves and it does not help that only a
rudimentary "instruction leaflet" is provided!

James not really much you can do. See below:

If I blank the laptop screen it works without re-syncing, but I find the
laptop screen useful as it avoids me having to turn away from the
audience to look at the screen.

It appears that is how the manufacture and or the device driver has been
set up. The only alternative I can think of is to install a second video
card (PCMCIA) in the laptop.
