Under FS9 Display Resolutions i am showing 2 identical resolutions for 1280x720x32 plus a further 2 resolutions for 1280x720x16. I normally run FS9 at 1920x1080x32. Is there a simple way that i can remove these duplicate resolutions without a complete re-install please?

Once you save the default screen setting , 1920x1080x32 your choice it should stay exactly that, if you go to your systems 'Control Panel' - 'Display' you would be able to also set it as your PC default default screen setting and it should change.

Thanks Ian but my PC monitor display & FS9 Display Resolutions are set to 1920x1080 as the defaults & have always been that way. When i look into FS9 Display Resolutions i have these duplcate resolutions which i have never used. My question is, how do i get rid of them?

I believe what your saying DC , this is part the default OS and don't think they can be deleted.

Possibly duplicate entries in the fs9.cfg...
Search on "Display" and remove or comment out (//) what you don't want.

Charl, that was my first thought, but when I checked my old Classic FS 9.1, I couldn't find a ref in any of the configs. It rang a little bell though - I am sure I have seen a tick box for "Hide all non-compatible screen reso's " or words to that effect. That would have come from a right-click in an empty part of the desktop, or maybe from the CCC control centre (I use Radeon cards). I think deecee3 is seeing a list of what his GPU can provide *if asked*. That list would be coming from the chip on the graphics card itself. What you see under [DISPLAY] in the config is what you have selected, and that is what you will get.

My thanks to all of you with your suggestions. There is good news - for no apparent reason [no changes to any parts of the system] the duplicate resolutions have gone!
