        I want to charge it via USB, but it's currently disabled so I can access the drive, so I turn it on and it turns itself off complaining about "low battery" thus I can't turn on the USB charging option `_�

        Wow, 1280x960 looks *tiny* on a 17" monitor. Reminds me of the time I drove a 12" IBM PS/2 SVGA monitor to 1024x768

        My laptop's a 15" and it runs 1400x1050 fine
      • 2006-03-07 06654, 2006

      • nikki_
        I used to use 1280x1024 on a 15" monitor...
      • 2006-03-07 06619, 2006

      • Muz
        In fact, it looks stupid if it's not 1400x1050 to me
      • 2006-03-07 06645, 2006

      • nikki_
        it will do if that's its proper resolution
      • 2006-03-07 06616, 2006

      • Muz
        Nah, all monitors look... "wrong" to me if it's not 1400x1050

        It's like my inability to use a normal keyboard sufficiently, I'm too adjusted to my laptop's flat smooth keys and lack of spacing and numpad

      • BGreeNZ
        Muz: 1400x1050 is not a standard resolution

        Is your laptop's LCD a standard 4:3 aspect ratio?

        BGreeNZ: I've been using 1280x960 on a 17" for years and everything else looks now *huge* ;)
      • 2006-03-07 06604, 2006

      • Muz goes to get more ribena and a straw... :/
      • 2006-03-07 06632, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Muz: So, a standard 4:3 mode such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, or 1280x960 looks stretched (non-square pixels)?
      • 2006-03-07 06622, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        That 12" PS/2 display always displayed things with a 1" black border, so the actual image was 10" diagonally.
      • 2006-03-07 06640, 2006

      • Muz
        Everything else just looks... wrong
      • 2006-03-07 06656, 2006

      • Muz
        I can't place my finger on it, but I look at it and just don't like it
      • 2006-03-07 06601, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        That's 8" horizontally, so 1024x768 is 128 dpi!
      • 2006-03-07 06615, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Refresh rate in that mode on that antiquated piece of equipment was 43Hz interlace, of course, so guaranteed to knacker your eyesight in 10 minutes ;-)
      • 2006-03-07 06648, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        IIRC, it wouldn't display 800x600 properly (probably needed a 56Hz refresh rate), so I ran it at 640x480 most of the time
      • 2006-03-07 06623, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        320x200 (ugh) didn't actually look bad on that beast....
      • 2006-03-07 06606, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        320 pixels / 8 inches = a quite respectable 40dpi :)

        No, on my laptop's "widescreen" monitor

        Ah. It's just you said all monitors looked weird when *not* set to 1400x1050
      • 2006-03-07 06620, 2006

      • 2006-03-07 06619, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Hmm. 1400x1050 has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Interesting
      • 2006-03-07 06658, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        1280x1024 is (unfortunately) *not* 4:3. 1280x960 is
      • 2006-03-07 06648, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        1280 / 1024 = 1.25 = 5:4

      • 2006-03-07 06611, 2006

        because it doesn't work when they are like that for me

        Running Win98SE and WinME. After installing Picard 0.6.0, it crashes whenever I try to run it.

        Picard is written in Python, right?
      • 2006-03-07 06625, 2006

      • luks
        yes, but the core tagging functionality is in libtunepimp
      • 2006-03-07 06630, 2006

        which is in c/c++

        For some light entertainment, check out my somewhat humorous attempt to fix the problem myself:

        i think this bug wouldn't be hard to fix, but first i would have to find it :)
      • 2006-03-07 06627, 2006

      • luks
        so i would need to install full devel environment on a win98 box
      • 2006-03-07 06652, 2006

      • luks
        and do some low-level debugging

      • BGreeNZ
        Sorry, I can't help you there (unless, of course, someone is willing to port it to FreePascal ;-) )
      • 2006-03-07 06650, 2006

      • luks
        i think it calls some function that is not (properly) implemented in older versions of standard windows dlls
      • 2006-03-07 06600, 2006

        something unicode related i guess
