Display problems


My laptop has a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. A few days ago, however, it started displaying at 640 x 480. I've tried changing the screen area in the Display Properties dialog box to no avail. It keeps coming back to the 640 x 480 setting. Please help!

What video card are you using? Do you have the latest video card drivers? This just started after ... what happened? ;)

Assuming that you are usingWindows 2000 or XP, you must be logged in as Administrator (also known as root) to access those settings. A long-term solution is to use the MultiRes video resolution changer to allow you to change screen resolution, refresh rate, and color depth on-the-fly.
