Trying to change the monitor resolution on a XP desktop that I just restored. It won't let me move the slider? The monitor is working okay.
Any ideas?

You probably need to install the video drivers for your specific video card or chipset.
Windows will work at 640 by 480 or possibly 800 by 600 without drivers, but to get higher resolutions and any hardware acceleration you need the video drivers.
If you have onboard video, then get them from the computer manufacturer's web site. If you have added a video card then go to the card manufacturer's web site.

The problem is most likely not the monitor (unless it's extremely old), but the graphics card in your computer. If it's really old, it won't be able to support the higher resolutions.

First determine your "stretch" field is checked on the wallpaper settings. If no longer something ever shows in this section (icons, purposes, no longer something...) bypass into your visual exhibit unit's menu and regulate the exhibit screen length settings. If that doesnt paintings, basically get used to it :)

Make sure that you have installed the Graphics Driver software that came along with the motherboard.
