I came home from work and stared up the pc and got a 640x480 with 4 bit color quality screen and cannot change it. I then did a fresh os and try ed both drives from cd and nvidia web site. Every time computer will set its resolution to 640x480 when I install the drives. Next I tryed to see if mabey it was my monitor and tryed another but still same 640x480 Res and canot change in the display properties. I have tryed two diffrent video cards and both same thing and did get the drives for each one from the nvidia site.Need help .....BAD

when you say you cannot change the res, what have you tried? did you right click on the desktop and click properties>settings>adjust slider?

Sounds like maybe the wrong driver.
Check Display Adaptors in Device Manager .... and see what driver is installed ... see if you can update it from there.
