Just to be sure, in Vista, right-click an empty spot on the Desktop and select Personalize. Toward the bottom you will see an item called Display Settings. This is where you should be able to adjust your Resolution. If you cannot, click the Advanced Settings and see what the Adaptor Type is when you select the Adaptor tab. If it says Generic or Default adaptor, then you are most likely missing your video drivers. When you had Vista installed on your computer, the installation should have included the installation of required drivers for your hardware including such items as your video card, network card, modem, sound, etc. Some hardware will work with the drivers included with Vista but the video card usually requires a driver update for Vista. Please post a comment again if you have more questions. Phil, it looks like you may be missing a Video Card driver.

I am a newbie so that could explain why the program dosen't work so well for me. I have gone to the control panel but the slider seems to be frozen in the lowest position. It will not allow me to move it and make the correction? Is something locked on my system? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks look to hear from you soon. Hey Guys/Girls,

I have a had a screen resolution problem since I got windows vista installed on my computer. I am a newbie so that could explain why the program dosen’t work so well for me. I have gone to the control panel but the slider seems to be frozen in the lowest position.

It will not allow me to move it and make the correction? Is something locked on my system? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks look to hear from you soon.
