1366x768 resolution problem..

Hey guys,

I am really sorry, I am sure somewhere in some thread you've explained this but the thing is I'm a total retard when it comes to computers

Well, I just got an HP Compaq Presario CQ62z which resolution is supposed to be 1366x768 (15.6 inches). After installing Windows 7, the only resolution options I have are 800x600 and 1024x768. It says it's a Generic PnP monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter (whatever that means).
So, could you please tell me what to download, install and do afterwards so that it finally gets to look normal?

Thanks a lot for your time!

Welcome to SF!!!
Just go to Drivers & Support | GAME.AMD.COM and download the drivers in "motherboard / integrated video drivers" - Full Catalyst Software Suite. Remember: 64bit to 64bit system; 32bit to 32bit system..
And do not be so hard on yourself, right?!

Are you using Intel graphics. I know of one solution, but I think it only works with Intel graphics cards.
