    Lightbulb Cannot adjust screen resolultion

    Help! We recently wiped out and reinstalled everything on our computer. Everything is up and running perfectly except for one thing. We cannot adjust the screen resolution. I go to display properties, click settings, and then go over to screen resolution. When I try to move the slider bar to adjust it, it will not move. It is stuck at 800 x 600 pixels. I need to change this and cannot! Please Help! Thanks

    Hi and welcome to D-A-L

    what make is the machine?

    have you got the driver disc for your video card?

    If you go to Start >> Setting >> Control Panel >> System >> Hardware >> Device Manager >> Display Adapters what does it say about the video adapter, if you right click can you update the drivers?

    After I go to Device Manager, I do not see anything about Display Adapters. Could it be in, or named something else? Also, we have a Dell Dimension 2400 model computer.
