Hello all, first I must say I'm no computer wizard, please be gentle with me!

Just bought and installed a Samsung 192N LCD screen (19") which allows me to have a 1280 x 1024 screen resolution. I have 1 gig of RAM and a FX5200 video card installed.

The problem.

Whe I start FS2004 with the desktop screen resolution that I have chosen (1280 x 1024), the settings of FS2004 still show 800 x 600. Fine, changed the screen resolution within FS2004 to 1280 x 1024... Result: the window is so small! What am I missing here?

Thanks for any help.

use the stretch function of the display (driver or hardware)

the screen is built for1280x1024, smaller settings give a smaller screen area if you don't stretch
 

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
