    Spent $20 on vantage, cant use because of resolution?

    I have my computer hooked up to my TV, it supports 720P or 1080i. Vantage wont read over 720P, even if I put it on 1080i, or even force 10240/768. How do I fix this?

    Tbh i dont understand why you say you spent $20 bucks and then use that
    as argument for this 720p / 1080i thingy.

    The minimum req clearly states: Monitor: Capable of 1280x1024 resolution
    Meaning that exact resolution, note it doesnt say minimum resolution orso.

    Again.. dont quite understand why you have to say you bought it?

    I thought you needed Vista to run Vantage anyhow ? you sig says XP MCE, or is that not accurate ?

    Im sorry, your correct, I updated my sig.

    Im having a hard time trying to justify why I am not happy for spending money on something that refuses to run. OK, so make it so I cant publish it, fine. Im trying to get a basline for now so in the future I have something I can compare it to for myself. And I want to stress my system out as much as I can. If there isnt a work around, then I want my money back, or unlock me 06.
    And please humor me and tell me that you read all the release notes for everything you buy.

    Release notes, no.
    Minimum spec, yes.

    OK,...you got me there. But it still wont run, even if I force the resolution of 1280X1024.

    There may or may not be a future patch which may (or, again, may not) help out with those people using TVs but the problem may actually lie in the graphics card drivers and/or how robust the display mechanism is with regards to reporting full 1280 x 1024 support.

    Note to everyone with TVs - try Vantage for free first before spending money .
