    hi there just wondering if anyone could identify a problem im having.

    When i boot up my laptop with vista basic the resolution and colours are all wrong its tiny resolution and false colours.
    If i reapply the resolution it works fine but it messes up my desktop shortcuts and such so id like to be able to fix it.

    I do know the cause of the problem i installed fallout and fallout 2 there yesterday and im pretty sure thats whats doin it but does anyone have any suggestions apart from unonstalling them??

    Reinstall graphics driver ,you might have installed an older version of dirextx ,eg version8.Run dxdiag program to check,you should have version 9.
    CLICK START run type dxdiag in the command box.Click Ok.
