I have a somewhat newer dell dimension desktop computer. Earlier, the hard drive went out and so I had to replace it. I went and bought a new hard drive and installed it. I then formatted it and re-installed windows xp onto the system. There is just one problem now, The computer is set in a 800 x 600 resolution with 16 bits of color.

Thanks in advance,
Nick
