Cant Adjust Screen Resolution after 7 install

well i downloaded Windows 7 and now everything is HUGE. It says the size of my monitor does not meet the requirements to run over 600 resolution. however, i have a monitor well capable of running that.

I have a dell 2300 and the only drivers i can find are for xp on their site. I have been told maybe the graphics card is not strong enough, however, it is only 4 years old. Is it that big of a deal.

I need some help. I am not currently at my computer but i will update with system stats. when i get back.

Whe you get to your computer please fill in your system specs. This will help others in helping you. Thanks and wecome to seven forums.

4 yrs old? That's probably why - it needs to support WDDM 1, preferably 1.1.

where can i find my system information.

Type msinfo32.exe into the start menu, then select system summary and then choose file, export. Upload the txt file.

Ive just installed windows 7 too, and theres a possibility that im facing the same problem here. my resolution cant be more than 1024x768, my previous res on xp was 1280x800. im a little frustrated too here tried downloading and installing some drivers from ATI but i havent been able to solve the problem.
