Hope someone can help me here, the display has gone really strange, all contorted colours???? Been into control panel, display, settings, & the screen resolution is set far too low, cannot move the slider up or change the resolution by clicking on the down arrow, heres a screenshot, have done a system restore to no avail................running xp sp2.

That looks like safe mode or 16 colors!
Are you running sage mode? - If not try reinstall the drivers for the graphics card

On your screen dump - NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/64 Pro

If that screen grap is correct then you have an Nvidia Riva TNT2, this is avaiable as a choice in the second box of the driver selection page

Right, all installed, restarted the pc & still the same!!! However, I now have the choice to change the setting in control panel, display, settings........should it be 16 bit or 32 bit??? What should the screen resolution be set at?
