Problem NOT solved.. i have noticed that when i restart the computer sometimes the resolution is normal..But when i shut it off completely and the next day start it the resolution is once again low...
mechbas i seem to have some trouble installing the drivers from the cd..it doesn't find them..but the odd thing is that when i do this-->Device manager-Video adapter-Radeon etc..-update-no windows connect with windows update (tick)-install from a list etc..-without search-choose driver programm from user-next-the model of the graphic card shows in the list..Radeon x1650 series(with the appearance of hardware ticked)(sorry but i try to translate from greek to english), i then choose it,i hit next and it says that the guide has completed the installation fo the software for Radeon X1650 SEries..I do the same steps for the RAdeon X1650 series secondary..then reboot..and it starts in normal resolution..but when i turned the pc off it started in low resolution again...i am completely lost..
Control Panel > System > Hardware(tab) > Device Manager
click on the + next to where it says Display Adapters and see if the "Radeon X1650 SEries" or words to that effect is listed. Yes/No? Is there a "!" mark next to it?
Even if it does right click on the name (if any) and select properties. Check for any manner of error msg. Do you see any msg. that refers to (Code 10) or some other number?

You have more than one instance of the same hardware item. Unistall (right click) the one that indicates "Secondary". Right click the one remaining and select "Properties". Any err. msg. will be displayed there.
"Secondary" refers to the driver for the second display, and seems to be legit.
Comlete re-install instructions are here, and I would suggest that's the next thing to try: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/d...estionID=28435
i did a re-install of the drivers..with newer ones (i think) from the ati link that hughv's gave me.. i restarted..it opened in low resolution again..i did the settings to my ati catalyst control center..and turned off the pc..when i turned it on it started in normal resolution..so i think my problem is solved.....THANK you guys..i appreciate it... **
