G73 cant chose full screen resolution after recovery

hey guys, i had to use the recovery dvd that came with my G73jh and after it was finished i went to change my screen resolution and i cant use anything above 1400x1050. everything is slow, i.e., opening and closing windows, minimizing them, scrolling, even alt+tab is ugly and slow. please help. im tired of all the problems this pc is giving me. this one just seems stupid. and if this is a repost im sorry but its 5 am. and im tired as hell

 

Have you tried installing the drivers for your video card. This sounds like a simple case of still using the stock windows vga driver.

 

yes i have. but maybe im installing the wrong ones, or not very current ones.. maybe.. could someone give me the link for the ati mobility hd 5870? by the way, when i install the drivers it stays the same the last time i tried. still full resolution at 1400*1050

 

tried one more time, at least this time i got an error

"windows requires e digitally signed driver"

what do i do? o_0

 

Make certain your vbios is up to date and grab the latest ones from AMD's support site. If they do not want to install, install via the device manager.

 

installed latest bios, tried catalyst, same digitally signed error. tried to driver sweep drivers and uninstall them from device manager and then reboot so windows installs the driver by itself, same error. ... i dont know what to do anymore. i can start from F8 and then start with the digitally signed enforcment off but i have to do it everytime i start up the pc. workaround, not a fix. and it runs in test mode, which im not sure i should be running on every single time. thanks for the ideas so far by the way. but still nothing.

 

If you are on 64 Bit win 7 ATI Catalyst? Mobility Display Driver In the following thread see "How to set up " but use the aforementioned CCC (not 11.2)

If it still fails I would do a clean install of windows 7.

 

thank you. ill give it a try. if it doesnt work clean install it is. i was already thinking about the clean install but i saw your post so ill give it a go.

 

I had the same thing happen and had just spent hours already doing a clean install for the 3 days prior. I tried it all and eventually used system restore to fix it.

 

the recovery is why it got this in the first place. i did all that ccleaner and driver sweep and now im going to see if the driver installs properly

 

I actually also had this issue when I recently installed the 12.1 beta driver, after uninstalling the old.
To get around it, download the 11.11c mobility driver. Then you open the Device Manager, open Display Adapters, right click the AMD Adapter, select Uninstall and also mark "Delete driver files...". Now reboot and start the setup of the 11.11c mobility driver. This time it should install fine!

 

now windows wont even start. screw it. clean install. thanks everyone for the ideias. i think it would be good to keep this thread alive for those with the same issue so be my guest XD.

 

installed windows again but another error came up. "cant open ACPI ATK0100 kernel mode driver". any ideas?

 

Did you run the Asus driver cd? Maybe it is something to do with the ATK package.

 

Uninstall anything ATK you have. Disable UAC and install ATK 1.0.0.0014.
