So, I finally got off my lazy butt and rebooted my computer (yay!)
Alls well, except for ONE thing.

The screen resolution.

The highest it goes is 1152 x 864 (32 bit)
It's UGLY. It's wide and stretched and I don't like it.
Unfortunately, that's the highest it goes. How do I get to go higher?

Info:
17" Screen
Dell Inspiron 1721
AMD Turion 64 X2
Windows Vista Home Premium

PS,
I don't know what the resolution was when I first got the computer, but it was normal then shrug.gif

I thought that 17" monitors could only display 1024x768.

There is that option. But it's smaller, as in the number is smaller. So it's huge and even more stretchy.

I have a hunch (abigone) that it is my video card, as a matter of fact. I can't change screensavers, either. They all say:

The screen saver can't run because it requires a newer video card or on that compatible with Direct3D

=/

Also, if you guys are familiar with Vista, you know how you can change the colors? Like this? Yea, I was able to change it before the reboot, but now I can't find it ANYWHERE on Control Panel.
