You need to check the video card drivers in device manager and make sure they are correct, also check monitor while there and make sure that is the right one.

You can also check them by right clicking the desktop/properties/settings/advanced.

When you have the drivers right, the option will come back to increase the resolution.

Had this problem myself a couple of times. Took ages to figure it out, but all I had to do is reinstal the latest video drivers and that fixed it.

Go to www.nvidia.com Download the latest. Hope that solves it for you.

Cheers.

33972 2002-02-02 08:33:00 Hi Bobbie, check your Monitor Manual, had a PC Monitor which with the Standard VGA driver would only give a resolution of 640 X 480 although 1280 X 1024 was obtainable with a different setup to that supplied by PC DIRECT. Frank. Guest (0)
