    I can choose that mode only just after the installation of Intel graphic card, then after first change of resolution, 2560 x 1600 option disappears (1600 x 900 becomes a maximum). This laptop has two graphic cards, Intel integrated and NVidia, but i run Win XP on it and NVidia didn't provide driver for that OS (only for Vista/7). Also, the resolution I'm asking for isn't FULL screen, but you can scroll the desktop with the pointer which I like very much! How to make this resolution a permanent option? Thanks in advance!

    P.S.:If someone knows link to the (hacked) NVidia 6300 graphic card driver for this laptop model for Win XP, I'll be very grateful to share it with me (the same desktop model has driver, also another ASUS laptop model with exactly the same specs except the name /K70IO/has NVidia driver support for XP!)

    windows 7 - How can I get 2560 * 1600 on Win 7 ? MacBook Pro 17 + Dell 30 inch 3008 WFP + Fusion 3

    I run VM Ware Fusion 3 on a Mac Book Pro 17 hooked to a Dell 30 inch screen

    I CAN manage to get a Resolution of 2560 * 1600 on Mac OS X(MacBook Pro), but can't on Win 7 (on the exact same MacBook Pro)

    The highest resolution I can get on MS Win 7 is 2048 * 1536 (and I want to be able to set it to 2560 * 1600 to fully enjoy the real estate of my 30 inch screen!)

    I have searched the KB, and found an article which mentionned that I should add the following lines in the vmx file (which I did) The lines are the very bottom of the vmx file

    svga.maxWidth = "2560"
svga.maxHeight = "1600" 
svga.vramSize = "16384000"

    KB Article : http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1003&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=63746028&stateId=0%200%2066741566

    I did the manipulation describe in the KB above however, I rebooted several times, but I still can't get the correct resolution to show in Windows

    All was the required was to install the VM Ware Tools on Windows 7 (using Fusion), the 3 lines I have added above were unnecessary.
