I want to immediately offer my apologies. This is an international list and my response was
ill-considered.
Cheers,

I don't want to sound elitist here, but you these days people (like me) are throwing systems with those specs away. I was not able to give my PIIIs away and all of them had better video. I think you time might be better spent "upgrading" the video card rather than coping with a low res screen.

"Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4 or higher), XP, Vista, or Windows 7 Pentium compatible PC (Pentium III or Athlon recommended) 256 MB RAM (512 MB RAM recommended) 1024x768 resolution (higher resolution recommended), at least 256 colors" The older systems that run P-III tend to have video cards that do not go above 800x600 if you want at least 256 colors. That is what I have seen in most of the older computers I have used or repaired. I am working on a P-III computer with 512 MB RAM and its video does not go above 800x600. So the question is, what will I loose with the smaller video resolution? I have not added LO yet, since I am currently running the WinXP updates [hundreds of them] before I load the needed software: LO, Thunderbird, Firefox, Corel Draw [his], Inkscape, Security, and other software that he wants/needs on his computer. So what will he/I give up with 800x600 instead of the 1024x768 resolution? This machine is to replace a real old P-II machine that he bought used about 10 years ago. It would be nice to get LO on that machine, since it is going to be given to a girl who needs to type notes. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deletedTod Hopkins Hillmann & Carr Inc. todhopkins@hillmanncarr.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
