[Viva La Luke]

My other computer has had its screen resolution set a 640 X 480 for ages now and theres nothing i can do about it it won't let me change it, and i was wondering if there was anybody who could help me out who has had this problem before.

i think it was set to apply and you dont have another setting.
You can re-install the VGA or monitor setting. You can either search the file setup through the net, or use the CD provided when you bought the VGA card.

I don't have the CD so how would i re-install it manually?

first of all, go to start, run--> then just type dxdiag

search for the type and name of VGA. copy the name then just go to google.com paste the whole name/type and from there search for the file to download it.

Or another way, search it through Limewire.

I don't have the internet on it though because it won't let me install it because of the resolution being to big

i need to know the name/type of vga, so i will try to find it for you T_T

and for the problem, u need to re-install it (overwrite the file).

I don't have the Internet on it though, so i can't post a screen shot, is there anyother way that doesn't involve the net?

just type dxdiag in the run command, then go to the display and take a screen shot... upload the image to imageshake, photobucket, tinypic.. whatever!! T_T

if your VGA sucks that bad, you cant change it without replacing the whole card.

You should click on "Display" as i mentioned earlier, this screenshot is useless take a screen shoot of the Display then we can talk.

Damnit my bad how's this one?

wow!! you got serious problem there!! damn!
Its not stating the type/ name coz its not even identified on your computer!!

You can try the following..
1- Buy a commercial Video/ display card or also called VGA. plug it and run installation.

or/
2- go to system and check for hardware for the display, if its there and has a red x on it, try find the driver by double clicking on it. Then follow the instructions.

If number 2 doesnt work then you have no other chance but to buy a new hardware for the VGA.
