    Hi, i've received my new laptop yesterday, a inspiron 6400.

    I choosed the WXGA+ Screen which was the more valuable.

    I have one problem tough, My windows icon left of the start button on the left is in pixel as well as the quick bar luanch and system tray icon. All in big pixel.

    Anybody know how I could arrange this?

    My current resolution is: 1680 x 1050

    wsxga+ is 1680x1050

    wxga+ is 1440x900

    it's impossible for wxga+ to run at 1680x1050 so i'm not sure if i understand the question?

    It should be under "video adaptor"
    If that doesnt work, try doing this

    Right click desktop-->properties-->Settings-->and move the screen resolution around.

    I've downloaded Nvidia Geforce 7300 driver under video adapter and it is not working. For playing with resolution, no good results yet
