Hmm...  My monitor is SVGA and I've ran lots of high res and
high color programs without any problem...
except for programs written in Euphoria... and even those
have never caused any damage to my monitor that I could tell.
I've even tried to ignore this problem in some progs and have
ran them for a minute or more before I gave up because I
couldn't find the buttons to click and other inconveiniences
that acommpanies the equivalent of reading a paper document
that is still folded up ;)

I would really like to use some of the higher graphic modes
if at all possible in the games I am working on, so if there
is a solution please let me know. If one has already been
posted then I just haven't got to it yet.  CHARN's sounded
plausable but I just don't know how to impliment it.

TIA,

Lewis Townsend
