berdusco Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 is it possible to have a virtual resolution on windows xp i.e. the resolution is bigger then your monitor/screen's resolution, producing a sliding effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 i had this once, but it was unwanted. so i'd say: not really. and why would you need that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drshdw Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Why would you want that? It's useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Some laptops if you select higher resolution than they supports turn on this crap, it's really useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raikou Tch Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 With my nVidia application, I can make up my own resolution and it will let you scroll around the desktop. Just change the resolution to native and it will return to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvizible Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Just use a virtual desktop manager, if you need more space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramble Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 It was avialble in Windows 95, but i dont think it is in XP. Just downgrade. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acezo Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 The ATi drivers do that, I think you have to uncheck "hide modes this monitor can't display" (something like that, can't check at the moment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berdusco Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 the reason i needed it: i, for one liked it, and i have parents who often look over my shoulder at what im doing, and sometimes use the computer, but arn't smart enough with a computer to realize that something may be hidden it gets rather annoying when they ask about people im talking to or read about plans that i'm making my friend had it on his computer i believe but again, he was running an ATi, i have an NVidia, so i was just wondering not something absolutly needed but i was just hoping that it was possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Dude then you only need virtual desktops and even if they had "average" parent understanding of computers they wouldn't even think about asking you to flip desktops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berdusco Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 yeah, i had virtual desktops...its not my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Maxfower Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 yeah, i had virtual desktops...its not my favorite I know How!!! I use that to work with Non Linear Video Edittion in one Monitor!!! My desktop resolution are: 2880x900x32 IN THE NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage Custom Resolutions 1: Set -> Allow modes not exposed by the display 2: Click on CREATE 3: Set -> Back-End Parameters -> Timing Standard -> Manual ? You don't need to change nothing here!!! But... you need to SET: MANUAL at first !!!! To the new resolution keep the same Pixel Aspect Ratio of your Default Resolution... or your Desktop will be Stretched!!!! 4: Set -> Horizontal Desktop Pixels 5: Set -> Vertical Desktop Pixels Test... Apply... And Change your Resolution!!! Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
