- Here are a few ideas:
-
- 1. I believe that you can program the MX17F to take the video settings you
- use. Try to create YOUR OWN user settings for 1280x960 (check the MAG
- manual for more information).
-
- 2. Contact Comtrade and make sure that they have sent you the proper video
- drivers for your Orchid card. Stress their tech support to the MAX!! Since
- mail order vendors are selling us this high resolution stuff, they should be
- our first line of support when there are problems.
