Hi guys, can someone help me out? This is driving me crazy. My screen resolution is stuck at a really low resolution but when I go into my control panel/display settings (in vista) to adjust the screen resolution it SAYS it is 1280x800 but IT IS NOT I went to NVIDIA to see if I need a new driver and they tell me to go to Dell.com to see if my drivers needed updating and the automated tool there says I have the most current driver. I havent changed anything on my computer but I think windows may have automatically downloaded an update right around the time this happened but am not sure. I have restarted the computer but nothing changes. I have been on the net for like 15 years and never once had this happen so I am not a newbie so it's weird because I have tried all the usual fixes I think. Any thoughts?
Try unplugging your monitor and plugging in a different one and see if that changes things. Also try a different VGA or DVI cable.
