Default Help needed - sexual favours offered as payment

I left my PC running on an application functioning at 640 X 480 or 800 X 600 (I forget and can't be fucked with the maths ) resolution. It then went to sleep. When I woke it up again, shut off the application etcetera it visibly remained at 640 X 480 / 800 X 600 resolution, but the display settings are convinced it's running at 1024 X 768. =/

I shut down, restarted and the situation remained the same, the crux of it being that I had to set the display settings to 1280 X 1024 for it to appear at 1024 X 768.

Uh... WTF?

Windows Vista Home Premium
ATI Sapphire HD 2600 XT

Oh, and I lied about the sexual favours.

Well Hash,
excited by your favors promised I logged on to give you the best solution ,
however, in reading the fine print you left me hangin' so rather than hunker down and give u my best shot, I'm just going to climb the window sill and lick myself clean...

See if the application is running using ctl alt delete and looking for it in the processes. I dont know if that will work, but its an easy thing to check. Its worth a shot.

Have you been smoking around your PC? It's well known that Vista has a low tolerance level. They haven't yet come out with a patch for 'resolution amnesia'.

Cool

Set your dick on the table and hit it with a hammer. Something should be running fine, although it will be a toss up between you and your computer....It that doesn't hurt, get a bigger hammer........

Now we have some sexual advice to offer for you ladies, just set fire to the bush...Hell, where do you think the phrase "burning bush" came from?

Now there's some sex offered......

This has been a public service announcement from the Bunker. Have a nice day.........

Thanks for that, though. 'Resolution amnesia'. ...Are we talking the same amnesia you see in cartoons? As in if I give it a good kick should it be reversed?

Seriously though, gotcha. Cheers!

I was just about to say that.

Either that, or simply deatach and reattach your monitor. That might even do the trick.

I refuse sexual favors.


Right click the shortcut for the application you're running and see if any of the "Run in XXX by XXX resolution" boxes are ticked.
