Screen resolution issue.

My screen resolution is at the minimum instead of where it should be. When I try to use the settings to reset it, it does not work. Any suggestions what else to do?

What display adapter appears in Device Manager?

If it is showing the Microsoft Basic adapter, you probably need to install drivers for your specific hardware. You may get better advice if you fill in your system specs.

I install new drivers earlier, but it didn't seem to make any difference. When I use the settings to adjust the resolution, I get a box saying input not data. Rebooting doesn't work either.

I'll ask again: what Display Adapter shows in Device Manager?

The Display Adaptor is there, but does not say anything about what kind it is.

Does it display like "Standard VGA Graphics Adapater?" If yes, then it's a good sign that you'll need a graphics driver.

Is it using the Microsoft Basic drivers?

If so, you have not succeeded in installing drivers fro your graphics device.

Must be using the basic drivers. I'll see if I can find the updates. It seems I DL new drivers before. Dose it need to be done regularly?

"The Display Adaptor is there, but does not say anything about what kind it is."

Can you post a screen shot of your Device Manager Display adapter?
--- Mine looks like this

When I open the Display Adaptor properties, all it says is Display Adaptor. There's nothing else there. I just updated my drivers. When I try to reset the screen resolution, I get a floating box that says "Input not Support".
