I need help. My computer is getting me very mad. Well all the letters and pictures are suddenly coming out super big. I went into configuration and changed the resolution from 800'600 to 1024'768 but then my screen turns all black and a message comes up that says out of range with and it says 35.4 khz/
43. something. I tried to go into the properties of the monitor but it wont let me. I really hate this and i need help so if anyone can help me thank you so much.

Is this a new problem? Was this setup working OK previously?

If so: any new hardware or software?

What is you graphics device and do you have the latest drivers for it?

Right click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager

Your graphics device will be listed under Display adapters > click the +

Ok the thing is that this was my cousins computer. He only knew spanish so everything is in spanish. And i dont know my spanish that well so i have no idea what im clicking. I tried changing it on control panel and it worked but it stays the same.

And this happend because my computer got a virus so i installed windows xp again and it just got like that.

You need the drivers for your graphics device.

You need the video and you might need the monitor drivers. Try the video first and see if that works.

i did both and it still doesn't work

Did you reboot the computer?

The other possibility is that you have a graphics card that was added to the Sony. In this case you will need to ID the card.

Is your monitor plug vertical and near the upper edge of the case or horizontal and towards the lower middle of the case? If the latter you have a graphics card.

Most likely it is either based on an ATI or nVidia chipset. Drivers here:

ATI > http://ati.de/support/driver.html

nVidia > http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Yea i rebooted my computer. And i don't think its what you say with the whole horizontal thing i mean this just happened now it wasn't like this. It was once i installed windows again.

After you install Windows you need to load your hardware drivers.

If the Sony drivers did not work then you most likely have a graphics card not provided by Sony.

Therefore the orientation of your monitor plug would be telling us this.
