Hi, is there someone who can help me before I throw this thing out the
window? My pc auto. restarts, every thurs. after doing downloads. The
last few times when it has looked like the screen was from 1990. I have
tried to go to control panel, adjust resolution, chose screen 1, and
moved the resolution pixels to 1280 by 960. My screen still looks older,
and it is wider but, a little sharper. I have a resolution reminder that
keeps popping up that states my pc's resolution may not match this
monitors optimum 1440x900 setting. See printed or online documentation.
Press AUTO button on the side of this monitor after adjusting the screen
resolution.
I have tried that AND do not understand why in Control Panel, I CAN NOT
set my resolution/pixel to 1440x900, I tried going up to 1280x1024 and
the screen just gets wider! ---WHAT AM I MISSING? Does NVIDIA need to be
adjusted too, if so where? THANK YOU, who ever can solve this, ugh vista
problem!!!

Explain to me the whole video card thing? I have a gateway Gt5628, I
have had to download update to BIOS. I don't know anything about the
video, where does it fall in at gateway.com: media reader download,
network download, or video download? Can someone tell me out of these
which download is the correct choice, each one has more than one.
Also, my pc automatically downloads for microsoft update Thursdays. It
has never caught any of these issues? I appreciate the help if someone
can answer!
