Cannot change screen resolution

Reinstalled windows xp home sp3
AMD 7750+, 2Gb DDR2, Gigabyte Geforce 9400GT.
Stuck at 640x480... I get the option to go to 1024x768, but it flickers then gives me 640x480. Monitor is AOC LM726.
Drivers are up to date. nVidia is latest 190. anything else?

Re: Cannot change screen resolution

Hope not, coz its a brand new card....

*** UPDATE *** Got it to change twice last night (after deleting and reinstalling drivers), but after playing a game it would switch back to 640x480 and stuck.

Just an idea :

Have you used the dxdiag command to check if any of the graphics files are corrupted . To do this click :

Start > Run > in the command box type "dxdiag"

Run all the tests and check that all Direct X files are functioning correctly
