Exclamation Solved: Graphics card resolution issue.
I've been having an issue ever since I updated the drivers for the first time on my hd radeon 3870 crossfire cards(round the end of august 2008). The resolution would not go above 800x600 unless I disabled/enabled crossfire (causing the cards to reset) in catalyst. now recently I got rid of my second card because the heat sink was covering a PCI slot that I wanted for a internal wireless adaptor. the resolution is doing It's usual freezing only now, theres no option to disable or reenable crossfire! any ideas?

What has been tried:
Updating drivers
Reinstalling catalyst
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and catalyst
Googling the issue (useless ;_; )

This problem means that I am unable to play any games as the resolution switches back. does anybody have a fix for this issue? or even a way of forcing the cards to restart? thanks a bunch.

EDIT: problem solved! after hours and hours of tinkering and testing I finally found out that "force tv detect" needed to be enabled in catalyst. anybody with catalyst should make a note because that had me stumped 0.o
