COMPUTER RESOLUTION GLITCH

Pages: 1
Ok, I don't know where else to go, so somebody please help me!!!

I just tried out the Angel & Devil game, and as soon as I opened it, the game closed and forced my computer to reboot. Now I'm stuck in 800X600 resolution and 4 bit color. Troubleshooting does squat, and the help windows do nothing! It keeps saying the drivers can't be found...

Please help! I can't stand my computer being like this!
Oh dear. This happened to me a year or so ago-- and it took me a long while before I could get it running properly again. Have you tried fooling with the basic display settings found under "My Computer" and the like?
So, what exactly did you do that fixed this error???

Worst case scenario is to uninstall your graphic card drivers and then reinstall.
On your monitor you should see some buttons. On the main button, if you click it, you should see some options. Look for the option called DEGAUSS and click it. The DEGAUSS option might be under options, but it should be there somewhere. If you do this the DEGAUSS should set your screen back to its settings. I hope this helps.
I can't find that option...
I think I need to go with a driver reinstallation...
How could this harm my machine, and where do I go to do it?
Find out your video card, go to the respective website, find the drivers for the card/your operating system, download, and install.

www.nvidia.com for GeForce cards and www.ati.com for Radeon cards.
...my machine won't allow me to access the internet anymore because of this bug...
I'm typing this from a friends house... I can't access your sites from my machine Prexus, so I can't install them properly.

besides, I checked the "adapter" settings, and all the drivers are listed and say they are being read properly.

Any other ideas?

You did something else seriously wrong to your machine, then.
I'm telling you, I didn't do anything. All I did was try to play Angel & Devil, then it's messed up computer time.

What else could I have done?
- get drivers from your friends house...?
- rollback the windows installation.
- reinstall windows
- boot in safe-mode and troubleshoot
- google.

(I haven't read the article, but hey, it's from MSN - it'll be dead simple to understand)
Safe didn't do anything, but I did manage to get some backup drivers. All good now!

Thnks for the advice!
