Dell monitor, 2-3 years old. Worked great this morning, shut down properly. When I fired it up tonight, it was stuck in 4-bit resolution mode. Right clicked on desktop, preferences, settings. Won't give me any choices other than the 4-bit. How do I fix?

Sounds like its more a software problem than a hardware problem. I would suggest reinstalling your video card software or going into your device manager and see if it is even listed or if there is a conflict. If it were your monitor itself, the option for 16-32bit would still be available just not able to be displayed.

It is your video card most likely, Borrow a monitor from a friend to be sure. If you do not have a video card and have an AGP slot you can just add a video card and disable the on board video after you install the new card

this is most likely a driver problem. Go to device manager and see if there is a cross on the display or the display adapter, you can update the driver from there or if you know the model of your graphic card you can try going to their website to download the driver.
