Default Unable to change resolution

You haven't described what stops yo from changing the resolution, but you
can try this procedure. Do Start / Run / MSConfig and make sure Normal
Startup is selected. Choose Advanced and make sure VGA 640x480x16 is NOT
selected. Do Start / Settings / Control Panel / Display / Settings /
Advanced / Adapter and note the adapter description. If this is some type
of generic VGA driver, or if it doesn't exactly match the adapter installed
in your machine, then you need to find and install the video adapter drivers
specific to your particular hardware. These should be available at the
video adapter card manufacturer's www site, or if the video adapter is
integrated into the motherboard then it should be available at the
motherboard manufacturer's www site. You may have been provided with a CD
as part of your system deal - in that case the drivers should be on that CD.
If you have upgraded your video adapter since you bought the machine then
the upgrade should have included a CD that would have the drivers on it.
