I have a question about Troubleshooting Driver Problems:

Recently I found that I cannot adjust my DISPLAY PROPERTIES in either my display icon......or when bringing settings up. The scale will not move from 16 colors........(Or monochrome). As a result I can not access any video files....and even the colours on my homepage are all "Grainy"......HELP PLEASE!!!!

Have you tried checking the settings in Device Manager? Not sure how knowledgeable you are, so pardon me if I offend. Go to Control Panel and double-click the System icon. Click on Device Manager and click on the plus next to Monitor (not the Display Adapter). Click on your monitor and click the properties button. Check out the driver settings and make sure they are set for your particular monitor. If not, either select the right one or reinstall the driver. If that's all setup properly, check in the Display Adapter and see if there are any conflicts.

Go to Device drivers, remove the driver to your video display. Click REFRESH.. the computer will detect the video card and load the driver. Should this not work. Find out which video card your computer has. Go to Windrivers.com choose advance search. Click on the manufacturer of the card and download and install the newest driver for this card. This, hopefully will work. Also make sure the monitor is set for plug and play, or the resolution that you want. Hope this works for you.

I cant change my color settings from 2 color or 16 color above. But everything looks okay from the systems setting. What should I do now? Is it a problem of monitor or harddrive? Please help me!
