Default I got the goods but it's the passenger side, I needed driver's side

My email said:
----------------------------------------------
Hey Nick,

I found out that my front driver's side strut housing is bent as well.
:-(
How much? how much to ship? and how long? :-)

TIA

1993 90q

Best regards,
Alex aka Xel

I didn't even think u gonna send me the other side, I cleaned it up, painted it(20$ for a can of primer and a can of paint), put the strut in, then just decided to put and old and a new one together, to take a picture and @#&*$^@#*&$^@#*&$^

I was so hyped up when received it, was dreaming about how I'm gonna go and drive the car today, and then.....

I still need to do a bunch of HW for skool, but now I don't have any motivation to do anything....

Default From what I know the ETKA can only work at that resolution....

I have it on my Apples and thank God, Apple resolutions on
their monitors is quite variable. PC laptops with that have that kind of resolution have to be top of the line units, which means
big bucks!
BTW take a look at my reply to you on my get together posting.

My Sony Vaio goes up to 1600x1200 resolution, but it doesn't display the full screen. So when I have it set for 1280x1024 (Etka spec), it's a point to navigate because you have to 'scroll' through the screen to view it all.
I haven't seen any other way around it.

Change your LCD panel size in the display properties to one that supports 1280x1024. Its how I get it to run on my Presario. The viewable area stays at 1024x768, but the area follows the cursor around. Kind of a PITA, but works...

Default No need for utility, just change the LCD drivers to one with 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 max res...

Pretty easy to do.

Default Tried that on mine, video card won't do it no matter what driver is used...

and there is no screen scrolling built into any driver that works with my laptop's video setup. So I just use a screen scoller on 1024x768, works fine.

Cheers,

Your laptop sucks more than mine (Duron 900, 16mb video, 256mb PC133 ram) ;-)

I'd try the LCD panel driver switch first on any laptop, then go for the util if that doesn't work.
