Hi Fred, Thanks for that. Both machines were running Vista and were running 1680x1050, so I know the graphics card is capable of the resolution. It's just that now Win 7 Screen Resolution doesn't give me that option anymore. I suspect it's a driver problem and have crawled the internet for a fix, but best I can find is creating a new driver altogether that forces the res I want. Though I have every faith in System Restore, I think I'll give this a fat miss and just redesign the form!
I've learnt the hard way that smoke can and does happen when you mess with stuff you don't know enough about...

Are these new Windows 7 boxes that have a different video adapter in them from the Vista box? You'll need a card capable of displaying the required resolution, you can't make it do something it's not designed for or doesn't have a driver capable of that resolution.
