    Windows 7\Control Panel\Display greyed out my resolution change option


    My monitor uses the resolution 1024 x 768, but this morning it's on 640 x 480?
    I try to change the resolution back, but the Resolution option is greyed out?
    A warning underneath says: If your resolution is below 1024 x 768, some items may not fit on the screen.

    Any ideas how to fix yet another Windows problem?

    Check your display adapters under Device Manager (Right click My computer>Properties>Device Manager). If there is an exclamation mark next to your video adapter, then there is an issue. Try resintalling the driver (online or CD that it came with, doesnt matter to start). After the install, reboot the system and then verify that the resolution can be changed.
