screen resolution problems
Hi,
I'm having screen resolution problems. I curently run 1200x1600 but when I change it to 600x800 it does not change resolution, but only the picture so I end up with a small picture with at large black egde around it!
can any one help solve this problem?

Hi, welcome to D-A-L 
have you tried re-installing your graphics driver?
is this a new problem?
-
thank you for the quick reply
I have tried reinstaling the grafix driver but I cant...
a message says "the instalationprogram could not finde the components..."
and I am sure that it is the right driver - ati fireGL v5000
-
if you have win xp home or profesianal, please go to the following link: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206...2kxp-36758.exe
That is the correct driver and software for your graphics card
-
the driver you linked to is the same one that I could not install... still I do not understand why I can not install it...
-
yes, that is strange.... do you have onboard graphics aswell?
what error message do you get when trying to install your driver?
-
I am not sure if I have onboard grafics... how do I check that?
(it is a fujitsusiemens Celsius H 230 notebook)
The error message displayed is in danish, but it would be something like:
"the installationprogram could not find components, there could be installet in the hardware- or softwareconfiguration. please check if you have the nececery hardware or software"

just to clarify: when you change resolution, you get a small picture on your screen and the rest of the area is black??
do you have an xp disk?
if so, insert it (whilst holding shift- this stops the autoload) click start>run and type in sfc /scannow
press enter or ok
if you get an error message, i would sugest trying a repair install (im not too sure but it could be a corruption in a windows file)
