can't change display resolution

[Chris]

I installed a pop up stopper and Spybot and after that my
display is on 16 colors and the lowest resolution and I'm
unable to change it. I tried everything in the trouble
shooter but I can't fix it. My system restore doesn't
seem to be working either. I uninstalled the pop up
stopper and Spybot but I still can't get the display to go
back to 256 colors.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
