New Re: If those PCs are old enough...
Indeed, 1440 x 900 is the maximum res, and no 4:3 option is provided. "Grab the last driver update straight from Intel?" My dear fellow, there are elementary system settings (like...changing our fucking wallpaper) that are reserved for the Tech Guy alone. There are others still (I can't remember the specific setting, but the realization made my jaw drop) that again you'd assume would be left to the end user that are forbidden even to the mighty Tech Guy, and can only be tweaked by the MIS folks back at the Mothership, three time zones away.

I don't call it BDS for nothing.

New I figured as much...
Hence the "can/want" phrasing. I'm just not as good at the prose as you are ;-)

But I just realized you mentioned Windows 7. That makes the obsolete driver problem a bit of a non-starter. I encountered the flattening on OEM XP installations. An OEM W7 box would be way younger than that and an upgrade from XP to W7 would have taken care of the old Intel driver.
