Hi, I am relativly new to this forum and computers in general. I hope that I have posted this in an appropriate place. I am running acad-12 for windows and 3d studio-2. Both of these were on a cd titled the autodesk collection. I have a relativly new system purchased last Feb. Pentium 90, 1 Gig disk, 32 meg ram, Diamond Stealth 64 graphics card. I came to realize that the default resolution of my monitor was set at 800×600. I changed this from the diamond stealth menus to 1024×768. Now when I load acad the window that appears is about 1/3 the size that I used to see. I drag a corner to enlarge it but I'm wondering if the fact that I must do this each time suggests that I don't have my display set correctly. If all is well how can I make acad come up in its full screen size at this higher resolution? When I load 3d studio it appears to me that it has the lower resolution 800×600.My suspition is that when in 3ds (dos) my resolution has not been increased. Does this make sense? If so how can I increase the resolution in dos? All of this resolution and number of colors is quite confusing to me. I have read all of the printed literature and on line help that I have about these issues but still feel "drain bamaged" on this. Can anyone reccomend any understandable text on this or a better forum to ask these questions in? TIA for any input. mark
