Changing Screen Resolution From the Control Panel of your PC, select the Display option and then click the Settings tab from the Display dialog box. Look for the 'Screen resolution' adjuster. The method of adjusting the resolution will differ from PC to PC, but you should be able to select different settings depending on your monitor and hardware setup. Late Nite Labs requires a resolution setting of 1024 by 768 and recommends a 32 bit Color quality setting as seen in the image opposite. To the top
