I have used this link, but have not found it useful, but anyways

I have a windows 7 64bit laptop, Intel Core 2 CPU processor and I a using safe mode. The default resolution is 800 X 600 so I changed it to 1024 X 768. This looks similar to the one in normal mode, but is a bit stretched. I want it exactly the same, as apps like bluestacks and windows live movie maker fail to open due to the graphics not the right size, or due to driver problems . Please can you help me get exactly the same resolution?

Thanks, cybergodfather666

Safe Mode does loads only default graphics drivers and not drivers specific to your GPU. This means that most media will fail to play or will not play well.

Even if you were able to get the resolution to be the same as "normal mode" Bluestacks, Windows Movie Maker, and other applications that attempt to use the GPUs capabilities will fail in Safe Mode for this reason.

The deeper question you need to resolve is this: Why are you running in Safe Mode?

I have no idea why this question was downvoted. Anyway, the answer to your question: it's impossible.

The point of safe mode is to load a minimum set of drivers. Usually the default safe mode graphics driver is some old-school variant of 640x480 VGA resolution. I'm surprised you were able to get 1024x768 resolution out of safe mode.

Finally, there's no way you can go from 800x600 to 1024x768 and change the aspect ratios because both of them are 4:3 display modes.

Safe mode drivers are minimalistic and I wouldn't expect one to allow you to change aspect ratios.
