It''s most likely that his graphics hardware (video card) does not support that resolution... the solution to that problem being buying a new video card, or just forget about that awful res.

300x200? Are you certain he entered in the right numbers? It should be 320x240.

But why on earth use a resolution as terrible as that?

Is he trying to access it in high color? 320x240x8 is accepted by most video cards, but some of those won''t let you use 320x240 with 16-, 24-, or 32-bit color. So if you want to use low-res, make sure you''re using a palettized mode. Otherwise, for high color, use 640x480 or higher.

Yeah, I know, mode 0x13... but that''s even worse than 320x240. The resolution is lower and the pixel ratio is all screwed up!
