Display properties... /suicide

Hey guys!

So, my display properties menu hasn't worked for months and I never needed access to it until yesterday... My computer's resolution automaticly changed to 1024x768 somehow and now I can't get it back to 1200 x 768 ...

Anyway, does anyone know how I can access my display properties menu again? It just doesn't load whenever I click the icon.

PS: I have Windows Vista, I don't have the cd anymore.

PPS: My monitor is an Acer x223w.

PPPS: NO, I don't have any viruses. I triple-checked it before posting.

PPPPS: I have already tried System File Checker and it didn't work :3

Thanks, guys!

right click desktop

goto display

set resolution

------

open up your graphics driver menu, ATI/NVIDIA usually have control panels.

push START button on your hotbar down there V . and goto your control panel then goto display.

Do you seriously think I am that stupid?

Pressing the display properties icon just doesn't do anything. I can't press the 'theme' icon either. They seem... disabled or something.

EDIT: I'll try your second thing.

How about updating your graphic card drivers instead of monitor drivers?....

the problem is, he most likely doesn't HAVE a graphics card. I already told him he can go into ATI/Nvidia's control panels to change the resolution

I actually do. They are up-to-date, Snow.

Doesn't work. Nothing happens.

EDIT:

Guys, do you have any experience with HijackThis? I just did a scan and I have no clue if there is anything 'bad' in the log. I don't want to fix things that don't need to be fixed.

Formatting erases everything. Yes even your super secret passworded porn folder discretely located in your program files named after a program you dont have.

waht no1 does that?

Lol. you should be able to right click and go to the catalyst control center or nvidia panel. If that doesnt work and going into your regular control panel and doing it from there doesnt work, reformat after you save important files to a thumb drive.

and what the hell is so wrong about pirating windows 7? you mean you want to support microshit?

edit: we all know we would be on macs if gaming was not so centered around windows

Your issue could be caused by a number of things. We suggest that you format because, otherwise, we could play the guessing game all day. If you don't have a Windows disk then perhaps you should look to Ubuntu or another Linux distro, atleast until you purchase a Windows licence.

Also, post your HijackThis log.

Pay for it and keep the disk and license.

W7 isn't going to be dumped by M$ like how it happened with Vista.

The 3-times-use thing is an urban myth.

Activators etc.. are crap. I am not going to pirate something this important.

Eh, guys, whatever? The key didn't work for me and that's the thing. I need to install SOMETHING on my pc, since it can't run without any OS. I decided to buy W7 because that is the smartest thing to do.

@Hatashi: I said most IMPORTANT, not most expensive. A computer can run without photoshop, but not without a freaking OS.

You're wrong about the prices, btw.

Show me the correct prices then.

I got the sources from both Microsofts and Adobe's sites.
I'm pretty sure they are correct on their prices since they are the manufacturer of the items they sell.

I am talking about the RETAIL prices you pay to obtain W7 HP/Ult etc..
