hey everyone, i have a problem with my monitor yesterday i deleted something from my computer (i didnt know what was that) and after few moments i noticed that i have deleted my sound card. i went to safe mode and tried to solve the problem but no luck. i returned to normal mode, but then my screen appeard the same as in safe mode ( all details are big and colours very low) exept there is no "safe mode"in the cornenrs of my screen. i checked my devices and there was two yellow questionmarks. one was about sound card and i have repaired it succesfully. another was Video Controller VGA Compatible (it seems that i have deleted it too). i tried to reinstall it, but windows cant find anything. i went to internet and read about video devices and other stuff, but still nothing helps me also i tried to change my screen resolution in my control panel- but that didnt worked out.
today i found a CD. it seemed that it could help me. the CD is "Standart PCI graphics adapter(VGA)" . so i deleted my old VGA and installed NVIDIA GEFORCE FX5200 wich was in CD. when i restarted my pc, nothing have changed (( @@@@ PC!! i checked my devices again and now there is no problem and no yelow questionmark, but screen resolution is still big. im lost and i dont know what to do. im not a profe about computers and i have no idea about devices. please help me.

have you a look at the settings of the video?

go ..start......settings........Control Panel ....Display... settings and have a look at the screen size it may be set at 800x600

yep, i did that. i have tried to set my screen to all resolutions i could find in control panel, but the screen didnt appeard good. it appeard smaller or larger, longer or shorter. and yes- now screen is set to 800*600. i dont know what to do :nervous:

p.s. Pink Floyd ROCKS!! :supz:

in the display setting what is the colour quality?

have you tried the troubleshooting guide

its 32 bit
yes, i tried troubleshooting. but it didnt helped me. all problems listed there cant conform my problem. i tried everything what was in there.
ahhh, all this foolishness started when i deleted something and went to safe mode. after it my screen didnt changed. its the same as in safe mode.
i wish i could turn back time.

how about system restore,

when you go to device manager video adapter can you remove the drivers then boot up and see if windows finds some better drivers?

i cane delete it, but windows cant find any new one.

when i have deleted my sound driver, windows have found a new one, but when it tried to find video driver, windows couldnt find it.

have you got the driver disc that came with your motherboard/PC

i really dont remember if i have that cd, but one i have found. its the only cd in my home wich has VGA card inside. i have installed everything what i could find in it and nothing helped me.
hey, do have any idea whats wrong with my pc?
