Start with the lower resolution. I think otherwise you'll get a complaint from CakeTalking when you start Sonar.

I ran across a couple of comments in the instructions regarding screen resolution; 1. The d-dots file (1SettingsWindows7.rtf) section 9.1 recommends a 1024x768 screen resolution. 2. The d-dots file (CakeTalkingTutorialForSonar.doc) section 66C. says the "CakeTalking sub menu accessed from Start Menu/Programs" Check Window Settings will tell you if your screen resolution and color depth are within CakeTalking specs or not. My basic question; Should I leave my system as is (with its default high resolution of 1920x1280), and proceed with CT install, THEN check with instruction #2 above ; OR do I have to use the low resolution of 1024x768 mentioned in #1 above? I'm a legally blind low vision JFW user who's already played with visual elements and themes to more or less satisfy my visual needs. My vision is such that I rely far more on JFW than vision to function and navigate the PC; but I'd rather not tamper with screen res just to accommodate CT if it's not necessary?
