Monitor Resolution

[Bustos]

Ive got a 17" Widescreen (I know, its small :p) 1280 x 720 resolution.  My problem is, theres no 1280 by 720 resolution setting on here (Display Settings).  How do I get this to work?

if your video card wont allow you to use your monitor's max resolution, then it may need updated drivers or a new card.

if that's even the problem at all

Yeah, I inherited a piece of junk really.  A Dell Dimension 5100.  The desktops not even listed on Dells website anymore.   It gets things done though. 

So wtf do I do now?

Look for video card driver updates. A good way to find them is the tutorial blockland has on the support page.

The devices name, manufacturer, chip type, DAC type, and approximate total memory arent listed.  They all say n/a.  I also dont have sound.

Wiped disk and reinstalled windowns like 2 days ago.  I already did all the Windows Updates, but I still need to fix the sound and everything else.
Anyone know what I can do?
