    Screen resolution stuck at 640

    I reinstalled XP, and now my resolution is stuck at 640. I followed the HELP
    section, which says to go under Advanced in the properties setting, click
    moniters then properties. But properties isn't clickable in the monitors tab,
    so I have no idea what to do. Everything else seems to be working fine.



    Any suggestions?

    Try changing your colour depth if possible - sometimes if you're on 8-bit
    colour then it can sometimes restrict you from making the resolution any
    higher. Make sure it's on 32-bit at least, apply the changes then try
    changing your res. after that.
