Default Problems with display

My computer seems to be stuck in 640 x 480 pixels. I have
tried to enter the diplay screen to change these settings
but everytime I restart my computer no changes occur.

If anyone could be a help to me it would be very much
appreciated.

Thanks

Lucie
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.

You need more than a 'get around'!
Have you actually tried my tip?
What was the result?
What error messages did you get?
How about posting more details to a *new* thread?

For the majority of people - that tip will work, if the problem is simple
driver conflict.
If the files themselves are corrupt, then you need to reinstall them from
scratch - after uninstalling the originals.
When did your problem start?
