800 x 600 screen resolution

hi there,
i'm wondering if the majority of people out there no longer
use the 800 x 600 screen resolution anymore. i used to have it
years ago, but over the last few years the standard monitor seems
to be 1024 x 768. i know that we have to check our designs to also
accommodate the 800 x 600 viewer, but wondering how common that is
anymore? any thoughts? is it getting to be obsolete?

I disagree. If you are looking to be able to display your
site without it
scaling and without the user having to scroll, screen
resolution is vital.
It defines the maximum 'browser viewport size'. The viewable
browsing area
is of course important - this is generally *less* than the
screen
resolution, to allow for toolbars etc.
Denise - w3schools have some stats on this:

Here are a couple of interesting articles discussing web
design and screen
resolution:

I got all these links from Google - Google is your *friend* -
use it! :)

  • IdeaPad 10Se and running software requiring at least 800 x 600 grafic resolution

    I have bought an IideaPad 10Se this week with the 1024 x 576 resolution. I have problems installing harwere requiring at least 800 x 600 resolution. I installed my HP writer that requires at least 800 x 600 by attaching an external screen and made only displayed on this screen during installation. That was a fine work-around for installations. Now I have installed a Canoscan 4200f scanner using the same work-arround. Unfortunately the Canoscan Toolbox programme tests the resolution everytime it starts and when it is not up to 600 in vertical resolution it refuse to start. Is there a way to fool programmes that the resolution is 600 in vertical resolution and not just 576? Or how can I solve this problem.

    I had a problem installing the Cisco VPN which required at least the 800x600 resolution
    to install but not to actually run the software after it was installed.
    It seems you can set the resolution to 640x480 using third party software but not
    any resolution with more than 576.
    FWIW 1024x576 is exactly the 16:9 aspect ration as found in HD TVs.
    There is software that won't install and there is software that won't run after it is installed.
    I found if I plugged my spare monitor into the VGA port and then used the FN+F3
    you can make the external monitor your primary one temporarily. This assumes
    the external monitor supports at least 800x600 of course.
    Then just install or run your software 800x600 normally.
    It's a kludge for the "won't install but will run" type software.

  • 800 x 600 screen - which version of iPhoto to use?

    Hi. I'm setting up an old 2000-era iBook (FireWire) 366 MHz model. It's got 576 MB of RAM, and I've got it running OS X 10.4.11. I want to set it up with iPhoto. Its screen has a maximum resolution of 800 x 600.
    I looked at the requirements for iLife '05, and it specifies a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306338
    I take it this minimum requirement applies to iPhoto, if I try to install it by itself, without installing the rest of iLife?
    I have iLife '05 on a old Mac OS installer disc. I've got iPhoto 4 kicking around as well. Which one I should I try to install on this beast? Thanks.

    I ended up installing version 2 .... and it gives me a warning when starting up ... "Your screen resolution is not optimal for iPhoto." When it starts up, the window is 'maximized' in size ... when I try to resize it to smaller, the width immediately snaps to being wider than the screen. Zooming restores the size to 'maximal.' Seems to work just fine; all controls are accessible.
    I'm tempted to try and find iPhoto 4, and install that one ... it's a closer match to this machine in terms of system requirements, and is presumably has better features and camera compatibility. I might have it here somewhere...

  • Is Cinema 4D Lite R14 limited to 800 x 600 render resolution even after activation/registration?

    I created a new Cinema 4D scene from within After Effects and discovered that I couldn't make the output resolution larger than 800 x 600. In the rende settings window I get the message:
    "Image Resolution: 800 x 600 Pixel - Application license limit of 800x600 pixel"
    I realized I hadn't activated/registered yet, so I completed that process but I still get the limitation.
    I tried:
    Closing C4D and AE, restarting, opening the original .c4d I created before I registered;
    Restarting the computer, then reopening the original .c4d in After Effects;
    Deleting the original .c4d and creating a new one from After Effects
    I still get the output resolution limitation.
    I searched for documentation about the limit but didn't find any that referred to C4D Lite, only other demo versions (which had a smaller limit).
    Is that a hard limit for C4D Lite R14? Or should I keep banging my head against it?
    I tried contacting Maxon from the support email form on their site, but it rejects my serial number (the form asks for the first 11 digits, which includes a hyphen. I tried with the hyphen and it was rejected, I removed the hyphen and aded the next digit to total 11 and it rejected it... it
    's like they don't want to hear from me. There's also no selection for the "Lite" version of the program.)
    Intel i7 4770K, Asus Maximus VI Formula mobo, 32GB RAM, Asus GTX780Ti video card (nVidia), Windows 8.1, After Effects CC 2014, Cinema 4D Lite R14.
    Thanks
    -Mike

    You can't render larger from C4D Lite, but your AE comp (with the C4D scene) should be able to be whatever size you want. AE renders your C4D scene; you don't render from C4D.

  • 800*600 screen resolution not showing full adobe window

    Hi,
    One of my customers is currently running Adobe Captivate 2
    and due to difficulties with vision is using a screen on 800*600
    resolution. When you open pretty much any of the menus/options the
    screens that pop up fill the screen past the 800*600 limits so
    buttons down the bottom are not showing unless you drag the window
    up at which time the top of the window vanishes off the screen. I
    have tried on my computer and it does the same thing.
    Is this something that Adobe Captivate 2 fails to do, does
    Adobe Captivate 3 fix this issue, or are there options to fix this
    with Captivate2?
    Cheers
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew and welcome to our community
    I just tested Captivate 2 by configuring my laptop to the
    same resolution of 800x600. Captivate seemed to work fine that way
    and I didn't observe anything being lost or cut off. So my question
    here is to ask if the person is running Captivate in windowed mode
    or full screen mode. If windowed, try double-clicking the title bar
    to switch to full screen.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Resolution requirement of 800 x 600

    Hi,
    I am trying to install my company's VPN so I can remote in...of course. However, I am getting an error stating that a minimum of 800 x 600 screen resolution is required to install the VPN (5.2)(Windows XP Pro SP3)
    I have a screen resolution larger than 800 x 600 and yet I always get this error. The app creates the cisco vpn folder and drops a couple of files in it, but does not install the vpn gui exe or any other components.
    I have tried every possible remedy that I can think of, and all types of screen resolutions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) with no results.
    Is there a known issue out there with a fix?
    Thanks for any help,
    Merid

    This same issue occurs when trying to install on Amazon EC2 instances (cloud computing). The installer gives the error:
    "To install this product, the system must have a minimum screen resolution of 800x600"
    A resolution of 1024x768 was used when this error occurred.
    It appears to be that the installer is buggy when used over Remote Desktop Connection.
    Others are having this problem:
    http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=27734&tstart=0&messageID=117764
    Are there any command line paramters that could be used to by pass this, or just automatically install without the user interaction?

  • Why did my screen size just default to 800 x 600?

    Last evening I ran 'Check For Updates' and after a Adobe Reader update my screen reverted to 800 by 600.  I don't write down what settings I use, I simply have been using whatever is comfortable.  Now I cannot find it. I may have caused the default setting through an erroneous keystroke, but I'm not sure.  How do I find the settings that I had say 24 or 36 hours ago and revert back to that screen size?
    Thank you for any help!

    Go into your system preferences and click on displays then make sure 1,920 x1,200 is selected. 

  • Message says "screen resolution problem" and says to set higher than 1020 x 600. My screen resolution is set higher. Why am I getting this message all the time I use firefox?

    when I go on to Firefox I keep getting the message that there is a screen resolution problem and it says I should set it higher a than 1020 X 600. But my screen resolution is set higher. It is set at 1360 x 768. Why am I getting this message continuously?

    I've had the problem too... for at least a month or more. It would happen when logging into yahoo mail. But it happens only with firefox... not explorer. I contacted yahoo and he had me first disable add ons... no change... and since it didn't happen with explorer, they said to contact firefox. So I followed the advice of cor-el's post (on this page) and made the text on my page smaller... It did fix the issue.... but, I liked the size of the text the way I had it. So, how do I get it back to that size, and not have that annoying message any longer? thanks!!

  • Can't use preference with screen res at 800 by 600 after upgrading to 7

    After updating to iTunes7 the prefrence window no longer fits on the screen with screen res set to 800 by 600. I can navagate and change things in the preference but then I can't clich OK to apply the changes.
    I was just wondering if this is very common?
    It's not that big of a deal to change screen size.... it's not like I change preferences every day, just after setting up.

    Thanks, that worked. I appreciate your help. My res is set at 800 by 600 and this is the first time I've had a problem where I could not see the OK and Cancel buttons even after moving the preferences box as high as it will go. I guess it has something to do with the upgrade. Do you know if I change to a higher res, is there a way to make the visible screen fill up the monitor?

  • Change Screen resolution in solaris

    Hi
    How can I change the screen resolution in either cde/java desktop? I remember setting the resolution to 800*600. But after installation the screen resolution has become 640*480 and everything is big.

    How`s about a little more info ?
    Are you running a SPARC machine or a PC ?
    If you have installed on a PC, simply bring up a terminal window and type : kdmconfig
    A little more involved if installed on a SPARC machine.
    Good luck .................JRH.

  • Headless macPro screen resolution

    So of this info maybe useful to some, but I'm hoping others maybe able to improve on it.
    On this headless system I connect via screen sharing. The problem is the resolution is I think limited to 800 x 600 or similar without any screen plugged in.
    Now I did find a very useful app called CSCREEN using terminal you can set it up to have a resolution that matches the screen I am working from (27" imac).
    So the above is useful, but there is a lot of lagging, from what I know is the computer is rendering the screen rather than the graphics card.
    Does anyone know any work arounds for this?
    Is it possible to make a DVI plug trick the computer to being plugged into a screen without it being there?
    Edit...
    As I decided to look further I also found this.
    Dongle
    This works well and takes it to 1600 x 1200

  • Spontaneous screen resolution change

    I am running OS X Maverick since a few days.
    If I don't use my system, the screen "goes to sleep" after 10 min. (like I always had).
    Since the OS X upgrade I have the problem that my screen resolution changes to 800 * 600 after when I "rewake" the screen (by pressing a key).
    When I look in the system preferences, the screen resolution is set to "best for my screen"
    I have to change it manually to the original setting (1280 * 960)

  • Windows Does Not Remember Screen Resolution after restart

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a strange problem with Windows 8.1 Pro
    My screen resolution resets to 800 x 600 everytime i restart my PC, and I will have to set my resolution again everytime I start my PC.
    Any idea?
    Cheers
    Nelson

    Hi Nelson,
    Please check the display adapters on Device Manager.
    It may be caused by your graphics driver.
    I suggest you reinstall the latest graphics driver to check the result.

  • Change of boot screen resolution after projector connecting

    Hi Guys,
    My boot screen's resolution was changed to 800 x 600 when connected to a projector and the screen resolution was returned to the previous set resolution at 1680 x 1050.
    However, the resolution of my dock icon was messed up (this can be configured manuall) BUT my boot screen (with the grey apple before getting to the login page) is now at 800 x 600
    Can anyone advise how I can set it back to 1680 x 1050 and how to prevent this from happening the next time I plug my MacBook Pro into the projector again?
    Thousand thanks for your help.
    Cheers!

    Fixed: reconnected the external display and disconnected it properly.

  • Screen Resolution mismatch. Can I force resolution prefs of remote machine?

    Using Apple Remote Desktop, or Timbuktu, I'm connecting to a remote server that does not have a monitor attached.
    Problem: I only have 2 screen resolutions available on the remote machine: 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.
    My local screen resolution is 2560 x 1600 (using a 30" Cinema Display).
    Question: Can I change the display preferences of the remote machine to give me the same resolution as my local machine? (2560 x 1600)?

    You are running the server in what's been referred to as 'headless' mode, meaning no monitor. Without a monitor installed the video card will default to one of three VESA compatible resolutions, 640X480, 800X600, or 1024X768; because it does not sense any EDID data on the display port.
    You need one of these:
    http://drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0153-GHDD
    which will allow you to set the display resolution on the remote 'headless' unit using the 'Displays' System Preferences panel. You don't even have to reboot the server to make it work, just attach the device and set the resolution to what you want to the limit of the video card's resolution. Settings will be preserved across reboots as the device present the correct EDID data to the video card even with no monitor attached.
