Hi All,

I have just built my dad a pc with a Asrock k7s41gx mother board which has
onboard vga (SIS 741).
I have installed service packs 1 & 2, tried just about all monitor types I
can find and the latest display drivers.
Can anyone tell me why I cant get a resolution greater than XGA (1024x768)
without the OS using Virtual desktop?

The screen is a 17" iiyama which used to run quite happily at 1280x1024 and
at a push 1600x1200 although things were a bit on the small side.

Any help much appreciated.

Paul
