Exclamation big problem!!
i reformatted my desktop pc today and i have a standard 22" widescreen Benq G200W monitor but when windows loaded i cannot change my screen resolution above 640 x 480 and the color depth is stuck at 4bit. i have the cd that came with the screen and have gone through all the options to no avail. because it is widescreen the edge of all windows are cut out and its horrible to look at. can someone please help me fix this??

We'll need a system model or specifications. You'll need drivers for your graphics card to raise the resolution over VGA level.

The monitor CD won't help. Look for the drivers appropriate to your video adapter.
