hey I didn't know where to post this so i posted it in here instead and plus i'm new!
I have Windows XP and my screen resolution has messed up on me.I can't get my screen back to how it was.I even went on control panel,appearance and themes,display,settings and you know that screen resoultion bit...it wont make me move the slider to get my screen back to normal.Does anyone know another way to make me get my screen back to normal?

I've spent hours trying to fix it but it seems like nothing i can do and the size of my screen has increased and it's hurting my eyes
Please i'd be grateful if someone could be kind enough to help me
please reply!

what's your video card? you may need to install new drivers

how do you find out your video card?please tell me cause I don't know what it is

right click on my computer, go to properties, hardware, device manager, and it is under "display adapters"

BTW, your signature is too big. it must be within 468 (L) by 120 (H) pixels

you can download drivers for that video card here:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...ProductID=1044
*edit*
it will automatically extract and run the install file, so you will just basically have to click "next" a few times instead of manually installing the drivers

i feel like a pest now.On operating system do i click..windows* XP home edition

Apokalipse · 02-13-2006, 09:09 AM

if that's what you have, then yes. although it shouldn't matter if you use "home edition" or "professional"
I've even used Windows 2000 drivers on XP. underneath, 2000 isn't very different to XP

BTW, your sig is still too big
