    When I click on display settings, I get the following error message and it won't allow me to adjust my resolution, which right now is at a very bad setting. I haven't installed any new drivers recently, this just occurred after playing a game that caused my resolution to lower. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?

    EDIT: fixed link

    Hey, you have to upload the image to the internet first, try www.imageshack.us. I'm not sure about your problem.

    Download the correct driver for your hardware and OS, re-install.

    I've already tried re-installing the latest video driver from Dell's website, but it still is giving me the error for some reason.
