"frozen" video settings
My question is this.
My son (7 years old) complaiined that he couldn't see hit screen very well. I looked and the display was severly out of adjustment. I went into the settings propeeties and the drop down showed the color quality was set at 4 bit display. I tried adjusting it but could not make any changes. I tried to change to a different monitor with no luck. I checked in the hardware manager and there were no problems there with the drivers and display. I did recently install a new hard drive and put windows xop SP2. I am at a loss as to how to resolve this problem. Given my sons young age I can't imagine that he has messed with any settings. Any inifo would be helpful.

Go to the support website of your video adapter's mfg. and search for WinXP compatible drivers. If you don't know the make and model of your video adapter...check the documentation that came with the computer. Also you could try these steps... Go to...Start / Run...type... msinfo32 ...press enter. On the System Information screen...choose... Components / Display / Adapter Description You should find the make and model of your display adapter as well as the driver version. If the driver on the support website is more current than the one you are running... download it and install it. Also you should find installation instructions at the support site. -- John Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://tinyurl.com/aczzp Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
