    Hey guys,

    I installed Dirt 2 and ever since my notebook (Clevo M860ETU) has been booting up at 1680 by 1050 instead of 1920 by 1200.

    How can I correct this?

    Thanks in advance

    I can think of a few suggestions, but not sure if they will work for certain. I'm sure that you have already tried going into the display properties and setting your resolution back to native. Try re-applying that a few times. Also, check your graphics card control panel and do the same there. My guess is that DIRT 2 installed some kind of graphics profile for your graphics driver software that for some reason automatically loads up and has that resolution set in it.

    If that doesn't work you could just try reinstalling your graphics drivers which most definitely should work. Make sure you use Driver Sweeper to properly uninstall your old drivers. If I were you I'd just do this option just to be sure.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I have tried the first one before and I do that every time I boot up. I will try to re-install the drivers. :)
