I have a problem with Windows XP.

The screen resolution slider exceeds the monitor specification.

This did not occur on Windows '95 or Windows '98

On Windows '95 or Windows '98, if a monitor type of 800 x 600 was
selected, the resolution slider in display properties would not exceed
800 x 600,

On Windows XP, the slider goes all the way up to 2048 x 1536, even
though my monitor is only 800 x 600.

I believe that this is causing me problems with some computer games.

The computer games are trying to run at a resolution that exceeds my
monitor specification.

Is there a fix for this ?

I do not want games to be aware of display modes that cannot be
displayed on my monitor.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
