Setting the resolution of your Nio display
Note: In order to set the resolution of your Nio display you must 
be logged in using an account with administrator privileges.
1. Open the “Windows Display Control Panel” by one of the two 
methods below:
a) Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display
or
b) Open the “Display Properties Control Panel” by right 
clicking in an empty area on the desktop, then select 
Properties.
2. Click on the Settings tab.
3. Select the rectangle that represents the Barco Nio display whose 
settings you wish to change.
Note: If you are using the VGA capabilities of your BarcoMed N
IO 
display controller, the resolution for the first display may be set to 
a VGA resolution of “640 x 480” pixels with 16 colors and a default 
refresh rate. If your BarcoMed N
IO controller is not running VGA, 
the display may not be enabled yet. To enable the display, check 
the “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor” checkbox, 
but do NOT click the Apply button at this time.
If you installed your B
ARCO NIODisplay System drivers in SingleView 
mode (default for Windows 2000) there will be one rectangle for 
the virtual display representing the two heads controlled by each 
BarcoMed N
IO display controller.
If you installed your B
ARCO NIODisplay System drivers in DualView 
mode (default for Windows XP) there will be a rectangle 
representing each head controlled by each BarcoMed N
IO display 
controller. This will be true even if you have only one display 
connected to your BarcoMed N
IO controller. Both displays of a 
display controller cannot be enabled at the same time unless their 
display properties match. If necessary detach the second display of 
the BarcoMed N
IO display controller you are working with by right
