Monitor refuses to show 800x600

[krazy_taco]

I bought a Hanns·G JW-199DPO Silver 19" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor when I built my PC last summer, and it has ran perfectly for me since. However, it recently began to refuse showing anything fullscreen in 800x600 or lower resolution. It always did, and I cannot remember if I did anything to cause this.

I am trying to run Gunbound Revolution.

I have usually been able to get around this problem by repeatedly taking screens of the game, switching in and out of paint, pasting the screen and navigating my way to the video options, but this time around, there is no resolution/window mode.

Drivers are corrupted. Remove the display drivers and clean the registry (download driver cleaner, it's free). Reinstall latest Nvidia drivers.

Yah but the last time I reinstalled my video card drivers, after I restarted my computer, it started in really really low resolution, and when I tried to get to the Nvidia Control Panel it said that it was not installed correctly. Everytime I tried to install it, this happened.

hmmm... I followed your instructions and during the reinstallation of the drivers, the screen went black. I rebooted and still black. So thanks for that wonderful piece of **** idea. Ill keep you in my thoughts as I desperately try to get my scratched windows disk to work.
