Resolution & color problems whe rebooted

[Guest]

I have a Windows XP Home

I just rebooted it and it worked out fine exept..

My resolution is low aswell as my color depth

I went to Poperties>Settings to try to increase it's color and resolution
but the scroll bar for resolution does not move from 640 by 480 pixels and
the only color quality is Medium (16 bit)

Before I rebooted the color and resolution was higher

what should I do?

Look in the Device Manager and check the status of your Video Adapter.

Open Device Manager...
Start | Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK |
Click the [+] next to Display Adapters | Double click your
adapter | Look under Device status on the General tab
This device is working properly is what you want to see.

If there are any device conflicts, you'll see one of these before you double
click your adapter...

[[A black exclamation point (!) on a yellow field indicates the device is in
a problem state. Note that a device that is in a problem state can be
functioning.

A problem code explaining the problem is displayed for the device.

A red "X" indicates a disabled device. A disabled device is a device that is
physically present in the computer and is consuming resources, but does not
have a protected-mode driver loaded.

A blue "i" on a white field on a device resource in Computer properties
indicates that the Use Automatic Settings feature is not selected for the
device and that the resource was manually selected. Note that this does not
indicate a problem or disabled state.

A green question mark "?" in Device Manager means that a compatible driver
for this device is installed, indicating the possibility that all of the
functionality may not be available. ]]
