Is it possible to get a higher screen res than the highest it will go?

Mine will only go up to 1024 x 768, i can get it higher but that means gettin new drivers, and the only driver i can find messes my pc up, "see my other posts"

Could do with going up sum res to like 1280

It depends on your graphics card.
If for example you are using only the onboard then yes 1024x768 would be about max.
You really need to resolve the driver problem first mate.
Do some research.
I will send you a pm. Might help.

It also does depend on the monitor. Each will have it's limitations. You can't software past hardware most of the time.

Thank you for your replys "Very Much Appreciated!" ;)

Ive managed to get my drivers updated, but the drivers that i got now are "i think" the exact same as before, im just waiting now for my moniter to shut of on its own, it just goes black but stays laptop power stays on. It does this around every half an hour just on its own its real annoying cause i love my laptop and i really cant live without the internet lol.

Iv'e only had this problem since it came back from the local pc shop, its got me thinking as this guy done somthing to my laptop so i have to get a new screen? lol pissed me of real bad!

Damn this seems to be a bigger problem then i guess. Sorry mate. I dont think i can offer anything else to solve this.
I really hoped it was power saver mode.

Well Well, iv'e just bin on my bios setting and i found this "Enabled" *LCD Panel Power Saving*

I have now set it to "Disabled" and i hope to god it works now. Just got to wait now and see what happens.

Well i must say its not worked i was just on a game and it booted me of server then screen went off straight away. im thinking this is now a hardware problem, maybee sumthing inside the laptop is now faulty. gonna take it apart and have a look, recent cmos battery and if this fails then a new laptop it is.
