    i dont think i did anything but i was playing a movie and then when i got done i restarted my cmputer when windows was done loading the screen res was set at the defualt 650x600 with the color at 16 bit when i try to change it via start>settings>controlpanle>display and i move teh slider up to what i want it says to restart if i say yes it dose then when it reboots nothing changed if i pick no nothing happenes then when i manulay reboot nothing happens either

    also when i open any window my whole desktop changes black unless i click on a button

    the problem from what i can tell is that there is not setting other than th defualt becuase i found a menu that shows a list of res and there was no chioces then i tried a game config and the game has no color list or res

    Sounds like a graphics card driver problem. Try re-installing drivers, they may have come on a disc or you might have to download them.
