    "Works for me"

    November 8, 2003  |   By TTI

    Version: SwitchResX 3.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    No problem for installation.
    No problem for activating my additionnal resolutions. Lot of features for the price. It's at least as good as the OS 9 version.

    Don't know what others are doing...

    Summary

    All that comes up is the read-me when double clicking the installer. Can't very well use it and review or buy it that way, can I?

    "Makes you wish SuperRes was Mac OSX compatible..."

    Version: SwitchResX 3.1.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    For some reason, my external monitor(a Philips 107S) makes the screen shake slightly when using 1024X768 at 74Hz, so I usually jack it up to 85Hz(which isn't show with the iMac's Monitor control panel). Worked fine, with SuperRes in OS 9.2.2. I come to Jaguar, have the same problem...install SwitchRes...try to switch it to 85Hz, tells me I need to restart. I do so, come back, it continiously crashes with a message "SwitchRes is not currently running". Wow, really? I would never have been able to figure that out by the control panel not launching, nor the crap "Please register" popup hitting me everytime I restart. Poor, poor excuse for a utility...

    "No Go"

    August 19, 2003  |   By gersa

    Version: SwitchResX 3.1.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Installed the app on brand new G4, added 1600x1200, which my monitor can run in all operating systems except OSX, and now the Displays and Sound tabs in System Prefs cause the OS to crash. Can't shut down, can't restart and can't force quit the app. No good, and in addition I had to Reformat my HD to get rid of the thing as the Uninstall left some settings somewhere and caused the Sharware reminder to keep popping up eventhough the SwitchResX control panel was gone...

    Version: SwitchResX 3.0.4

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    After the install there's no indication anything changed from 3.0.3 except the readme file and log said it was installed. Restarted to be sure but still shows version 3.0.3 fro daemon and control panel.
