Game display on Laptop

I just bought a new Dell 600m Laptop, and I was trying to play D2 on it, but it looks very fuzy on the new lappie. It keep saying that the screeen is set to a non-optimal solution when I start the game. Seems the monitor only looks good when set to its natural resolution, which is 1400x1050, and D2 only go up to 800x600 (already look much better than when it was640x480).
Anybody has any experience on this? Any way to solve it?

Are you trying to run this in a windowed mode or the standard full screen?

In a windowed mode it would of course look messed up, however im not sure why the full screen would look like that.

These new laptops definately are made to have their resolution higher, (my sisters has a native of 1600x1200), and when it is lowered it always seems to look fuzzy.

Maybe someone else would have an idea, but I do not believe there is any kind of fix, you just might be able to make it looks a little bit better if you play around with the advanced display settings.

Thanks for the reply. I am playing full screen (XP home). The default resolution for D2 was 640x480, and that looked terrible, I switched to 800x600, and it looked a much better, but still fuzzy. Guess I will do some resetting for the system appearance.

Its going to look fuzzy because your monitor isnt running at its normal resolution like you said. The only way I can think of fixing it is run it in windowed mode with a black background. But Dell might also have a work around for it so you might want to email them considering how new the laptop is.
