Yeah, install your video drivers.

No. You have to go to the manufacturer of the video card's web site
unless you have an on board video card which would mean going to your
motherboard manufacturer's web site. Right click on My
Computer/Properties/hardware/device manager and see what it says there
about your video card and report back.

to be honest i'm not sure what i'm looking for i'm a relative novice to this
game. i;ve changed my adapter to super vga and that has solved my screen size
now at 800 x 600. just the colours to go, under my hardware properties says
original configoration. I have other heading of device manager but it hay
lists of things and not sure what i should be looking at!

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
