I have a HP pavilion zx5078cl notebook. It's a wide screen type. I was getting some weird problems, so I reinstalled the operating system. When I decided to reinstall, I thought this notebook just like others having a nice recovery CD that can wipe out everything on the harddrive, and reinstall everything anew. But it didn't do that. This HP notebook did not have a recovery CD, it has a windows XP CD, a application CD and a driver CD.
When I reinstalled the windows XP, I chose to delete partition, but it's not allowed, then I went ahead to reinstall anyway. Here is the bad outcome, after XP is reinstalled, all the letters are stretched laterrally (my notebook is a widescreen), and the resolution is 600x800. I tried to change the resolution, it stays with the low resolution. There is no sound out of laptop as well.
Please help me out, give some clue how I can get the screen show normally. Or if someone has a recovery CD (that can wipe out everything and install nicely), I will greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much in advance.
