My problem is that my windows xp even though i have installed the drivers of my Sapphire ATI Radeon X1650 pro (vpu) graphics card, start with the lowest resolution.. I have tried a lot of things..like reinstalling drivers , windows xp problem resolution..
This happens to me for the first time.. I made a format.. and after the format i have this problem.. This is a new graphic card..which when i installed had no problem at all..
But after the format i have done one of this days i now have this issue..
Does anyone know why could this be happening?

let me translate ===Is the OS and GA updates current?==OS= Operating System ie: winxp = is you winxp up to date with all windows updates installed .

GA updates current==GA=Graphic Card = is you video card driver the latest that the maker offers on there web site for you video card .
Win7 whats it all about .

my windows are updated..
my graphic card i believe it is..now.. my graphic card is sapphire ati radeon x1650 pro (vpu)..
i don't believe that this has anything to do with the updates of my graphic card.. i believe that because the previous card (nvidia) was inside the motherboard that when i installed some the basic cd's after the format, maybe there is an issue between nvidia drivers and ati (my new card's) can you tell me how could i see if there is such a problem..?

In Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager:
See what video adapter is shown.
Right-click any and all, then select "Uninstall".
Reboot, and see if the correct card is detected and reinstalled.
You may need to have the drivers handy to complete this step.
