screen resolution wont change

hooglebug · #1 (**permalink**) 11-11-2005, 04:42 PM

i recently installed ulead dvd workshop 2, and this needs teh screen resolution to be at least 1024 x 768. at first i could change it to and from this. i used the program at least five times before i restarted my computer due to windows updates. when i came to use dvd workshop after teh restart, the screen resolution would not change. there are no options to change from 800 x 600. on the display properties/settings screen, when i go into advanced, then adapter, list all modes, the only modes listed are 640 x 480 and 800 x 600. i didnt do anything other than restart the computer. i dont know much about computers, so any help anyone could give would be great, as i can use dvd workshop at last

Dwnload everest from http://www.lavalys.com/products/over...ng=en&pageid=1, install and run it. In the computer/summary section it will tell you what video adapter etc is. From that we can work out the latest drivers you nned.

Field Value
Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (Microsoft Corporation) (64 MB)

Strangely, the screen resolution now changes again. but i dont want to risk it happening again so your help would still be appreciated

And sure enough, computer has been restarted and the screen resolution has gone back to how it was and i cant change it again. i need to use this program by the end of this week (by the 18th) so pleeeeeaaase help me!

Just go here to Nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp and select the 3 steps to download the driver. It will be around 20-30mb.
