i have tried doing that yes and it didn't work, it just switched back, i don't get what you mean by " u have to run the motherboard CD..i.e the video drivers.." what do you mean?
 
What Graphics card do you have?

It has been known that installing Norton can interfere with stuff like that, download the latest drivers for your graphics card and reinstall them and it should be all good. I have a huge dislike for the real big commercial antivirus companies as their programs seem to take over the whole system and are resource hungry, avast only for me
 
If you have a graphics card installation CD stick it in and re-install all the drivers, then try to change the settings. Hopefully that'll work.

i didn't get any graphics card installation cd, i don't have any cd that has to do with my graphics card, would uninstalling norton maybe fix the problem? i have no clue what to do,you know what pisses me off, my family is blaming me saying i messed the computer up
