Screen resolution

[Barry C]

Hi

I have a Compaq Presario and when I powered it up yesterday the screen
shrunk to about half size and I got a message "screen resolution and colour
depth are very low, do you want to fix?" or similar. When I clicked on the
balloon I got a "serious error has occurred". I have tried manually setting
the display but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Barry

Can you tell us what you have tried?
Just adjusting the monitor?
Or did you change the resolutionin Windows?

Hi Barry,

I have no idea if these two are even related, and IF it actually reads
"serious error": Use one of the three options.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Settings/Advanced/Change. Set Page File to 0, ok your way out
and reboot. Then follow the same procedure and reset the Page File to
System Managed File.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change/No Page File. Reboot. Then
delete C:\Pagefil.Sys then revert the page file setting.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change. Set the swap file size to zero,
reboot. Re-set to System Managed, reboot. Reset the Custom setting,
reboot.
