What kind of display do you have?  LCD or CRT.  Sometime your monitor won't do certain resolution.  I believe your card should always be able to support lower resolution.  My guess is that you may have a hardware incompatibility problem.  May be update your driver software from Dell will help.\n\nGood luck.

you mayhave a hardware iwwue with the video inverter.  If it's a dell run the 32 bit diagnostics.  The first part will tell you if you have an inverter issue.  If you do then contact the manufactruer if your under warentee.

your computer's video card or the driver for the video card can't support the resolution required for the video to be viewed.

Hi,\n\nMany of us face the similar situation. I have a solution for this...\n\n--1. Change your resolution to 1024x768, from the Display properties.\n\n--2. In the same window, find a button called 'Advanced' (below 'Color Quality' box). Click it.\n\n--3. In the 'Advanced' window, there is a portion of 'DPI Setting', and a drop down box below to it.\n\n--4. The default setting is 'Normal size (96 DPI)'.\n\n--5. Change it to 'Large Size (120 DPI)', and click 'Apply', then click OK.\n\n--6. You need to restart your computer after that, and see, how are the fonts looking. Whether it is suiting your eyes or not.\n\n--7. If you want bigger fonts, then, click 'Custom Setting' (below 'Large Size'), and enter bigger percentage.\n\n\nI hope, it helps for your eyes. All the very best.\n\n:-)

Try windows update\nhttp://www.windowsupdate.com/\n\ndo not go for express installs, but use it manually, there you should find drivers for video cards.\n\n\nIf that fails, try the vendor of your graphics card. They might have it (you didn't give details on which vendor it is, only the chipset)).\n\nBTW: The type of CPU is irrelevant.

as your restarting the PChold down the (F2) key then scroll through the 7 or so pages. You will find specs. and be able to set the brightness of your display. Be sure to save changes on exit.\n\nWhen PC is fully booted you can change resolution of screen by, right clicking on the screen, select properties, setting and raise or lower your DPI. preveiw changes and select the one that works best.

I'm assuming you right-clicked on your desktop and did Properties, then went to the Settings tab and tried to change the slider for the resolution?  If you do know how to change the resolution which I think you do, then have you installed the proper drivers for your graphics card?  You should be able to grab them from the manufactures website.  How long as your resolution been stuck at 640x480?  Just curious if you recently reinstalled Windows, or what might have caused it.

Your monitor doesn't support a higher resolution than that. You need to get a monitor that supports the resolution you want. Windows will lock out modes that your monitor can't display even if your video card is capable.

right click on desktop and go to properties, then to settings , and move th eslider and press apply.\nbut you want to run an LCD at 60mhz. trust me , it will look perfect. and also find the NATIVE resolution and only run your lcd at the native resolution. on a 19 inch lcd it probably is 1280x1024@60

It actually sounds like you've exited uncleanly, and it has kept the game resolution.\n\nWhat you need to do is right click the desktop, select properties, and then click the Settings tab. You will find a slider there titled "Screen Resolution" slide that baby updwards. (A bigger resolution means more pixels, smaller icons). \n\nMost people these days are using either the 1280x1024 setting or 1024x768. Have a go and see what you prefer.

You need to reinstall your graphics driver.  Don't ask me why but if the graphics driver is not installed on your laptop (or any computer) then the Standby option will not be available.  Find your driver restore CD and it will be on there, unless you KNOW what your graphics adapter is.  Unfortunatlely unless the driver is actually installed, Windows cannot tell you what Graphics card you have, I supposed you could look it up on Dell or use your system code (whatever dell uses) to find out.

"did a BIOS update would not fix anything" Bios has nothing to do with resoultion.. besure to you have correct drivers from dell, also check monitor drivers and video drivers, once you have both correct you should be able to right click on the desktop > properties > settings tab> and change your resoultion from there also check the advance settings and besure your dpi is set correct.

switch to 16 colors first... then go back into display, if your video card will handle it then it should give you the option to go bigger. X

Yes, the problem is your sucky video card. You can upgrade it however. If you have a decent video card, I think your monitor can support up to 1600x1200.

You'll probably either need a VGA cable.  You can go to Staples, Fry's, or another store to get one.  You might need a DVI cable.  I'd buy the VGA cable, if it don't work, take it back and get a DVI cable, if that don't work get a VGA cable with a DVI connector.  Or just write to Dell and tell them the type of addin card or contact the addin card makers.  Good luck.

If your Dell has a slot for a graphics card, then you ought to be able to replace this card with a larger one, as long as you have the ram.
