    Cant change resolution and color quality
    « on: October 11, 2008, 12:01:16 PM »
    For some reason, my computer is in a resoluton of 600x800 and I want to change that but I cant. I tried going right clicking on desktop and went on properties than settings. But it wont let me drag it up to a higher resolution. Than when I tried to improve the color quality, there was only one option and that was low color quality.

    This never happened before... Can anyone help?

    Reboot your computer a couple of times and see is it fixes the problems, or else you might have to download the latest video cards!

      this happened right after I attempted to play BF Vietnam but it crashed.

      Than once I exited, it was this small resolution and bad color quality.

      In case you want a third opinion, I suggest you reinstall the Video Card Drivers.

      It's kind of weird, why someone being "experienced" wouldn't listen, when told for the first time....

      Stop tormenting yourself with imaginary problems. You're very far from being a dumb person ;D

      Smart enough for what?
      Computer smart enough? Not everyone has to be. People have their values in different fields.
