Problems with changing the resolution
After you change the screen resolution, a window is partly off the screen or
missing, or you can’t see the whole screen.
Try one of the following:
m If you changed the resolution in the control panel, make sure the control panel is closed
before trying to use another window.
m Quit the application whose window is missing and then open it again.
m If the application has a Windows menu, use it to hide the problem window and then show
it again.
m Go back to the resolution you were using, close the window, change the resolution, and
then reopen the window.
m Try another resolution.
If you have problems with a particular application, contact the publisher of that application.

resolution.

If you’re using the Macintosh 24 AC graphics card, you may see two apparently identical
resolution selections. The first option sets your monitor to display millions of colors, and the
second option sets your monitor to display 256 colors.
When you select a different resolution, the monitor goes blank, and the
resolution does not change.
If your monitor is connected to the Macintosh 24 AC graphics card, the monitor may go blank
for 15 seconds when you select a resolution that does not work with your monitor. Try
selecting another resolution.
