    Welcome to DAL;
    We can't see that link you posted as it's stored on your hard drive. However, try to find out what sort of graphics card you have, this will be written somewhere in the same dialog that you change the resolution in. Then we can try and find some drivers for it, and hopefully fix it.

    right click on your desktop, go to properties, then the Settings tab, and there is a line that reads;

    Display:
    *monitor name* on *graphics card*

    For me it's

    Plug 'n' play monitor on Nvidia Geforce 7300GT

    It's the last part you want, should give you the manufacturer.

    Insert your exact VAIO model into Sony Support and look for XP Video drivers.
