Actually, just thought of this, you can try to switch to Win98 interface, it should look a little better than.
I have an Intel 810 Chipset Book PC running Windows XP and I dont have the option to set the display to anything less than 800 x 600 at 16 or 32 bit. Does anyone know how to change this to enable 640 x 480 mode?
Thanks in Advance.

Ok I will give it a shot. I figured I would have to have it at 640 x 480 to read the font on a 6.8" lcd. I dont have my lcd yet so I was trying to prepare things. Thanks for the help.

I am powering it with an inverter. I have had a few problems trying to run the computer with the car off and the inverter on. It doesnt want to start up at all. I start the car and the computer starts up just fine. I am actually thinking about buying the power supply discussed in this thread and getting rid of the inverter.Opus Power Supply
I don't think the book pc is atx complient, and the opus powersupply is.... and atx power supply, it may work with some modifications.
I want to continue using xp but if I keep having problems I'm going to 98, I have build two computers and one has 98, and I have never had a prob...I don't know why xp is being such a ******...

Thats right, I forgot about the funky bookpc power connector. I wonder if it could be modified.
I havent had any stability issue with running xp prof. on the mine. Have you updated all the drivers and xp updates? Was it a clean install?
also, if you go to advanced on the video card properties, you can pick list all modes, and pick 640x480 32bit @ 60hz.

MP3DUB,
That's where I ended up finding it was under the advanced video card properties. I knew it had to be in there somewhere, I should of just asked here sooner instead of pulling my hair out trying to find it. Thanks to everyone for the help.
