THND201,

Did you reinstall the operating system or use the System Restore? If you did the former, go to Start|Control Panel|Display|Settings tab and use the slider to increase the resolution on your monitor.

Thanks for the replies. Why is that and how do I go about installing the drivers?

The operating system and i click on the adjuster and it doesn't move.

You need to reinstall your video drivers before the slider will show other choices.

THND201,

Go to the Reinstall Guide link in the drop down menu below Product Support above this forum. Enter your system information and it will display a list of links to installation instructions.

This was the first time i used this forum for a problem. i just want to thank Denny Durham and Matt Cowger for your advise. Both of the solutions worked.

 

                                                                                   Thanks again, John

Control Panel/ Appearence and Themes/Display/Settings

Because until the graphics adapter drivers are installed the system is running on XP's default VGA resolution and the resolution cannot be changed, as evidenced by the poster's statement that the slider on the Settings tab cannot be moved.
