Solved: My display is too big. How can I change it back?

arhaldem · 30-Apr-2009, 01:34 AM #1

I literally closed my laptop for an hour...came back and opened it and now my display is huge!
I tried doing the whole change the resolution but i can only move between 800x600 and 1024x768. There used to be a lot more options for resolution. I think an automatic update may have changed this.
I have been checking out the device drivers and my display adapter
(Radeon X1270) is showing the following: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
Can anyone help me with fixing this?

HAH! solved it myself...

If anyone else has this problem simply:
1.Go to device manager and uninstall your display adapter
2. Restart your computer
3. If you have Vista, it should reinstall the driver for you when you log in after rebooting. If not go to device manager, click action, click scan for new hardware and follow the instructions
