Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / May 2004Running Fullscreen on PB 1.5ghz G4 15" AL
Hi, I am running VPC 6.1.1 with Windows XP Professional (SP1) on one of the new 15" Powerbooks (1.5ghz, 512ram, Al) and was wondering if there is a way to run true fullscreen on these widescreen LCD displays? I have my resolution currently set in VPC to 1024x768, but was hoping for a way to mirror my Mac's resolution of 1280x854. I currently can run fullscreen mode but am plagued by those black bars to the left and right similar to running a DVD that is not widescreen encoded. Any help would be great! Tim Have you tried making sure your VPC Additions are up-to-date? I flip mine back and forth between Full Screen and Windowed, and VPC fills the whole 1280x854 screen. -gerry > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Tim So how well does VPC work on the new laptop? I really want one but can only justify it if it is a significant performance improvement over my 800Mhz Powerbook when running VPC which I need to do quite a bit. Any insight would be REALLY useful. What machine did you have before?

Not a huge improvement with VPC. I run Windows 2000, and it's a little snappier, but it's still slow on the "draw" I think this is mostly due to all the graphics being handled through the PPC and not with the Video subsystem directly. This is on the list to be addressed in VPC 7. If they get direct video working in VPC 7, I think we're ALL going to see a BIG performance improvement. -Gerry > So how well does VPC work on the new laptop? > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>> >>>Tim |
