If I change the display size it just keeps changing back to 1024 x 768   I received my dell inspiron 9400 today and this has happened since I had it.   any help would be great - thanks

Try dowloading and installing the latest driver from support.dell.com   Failing that, try to download the driver directly from ATI/Nvidia and tell us what happens

Sorry to jump in here but I'm new to this dell forum I have a 22' wide screen and my desk top picture looks out of proportion because of the wide screen.  How do i get it to look natural?
