cannot support widescreen resolutions.

1920x1080

 

 

Sometimes your video card will not read the monitor correctly and will

 

not allow you to achieve the resolution you want. Rebooting your

 

computer will solve the situation.

 

You can also make sure your video card’s video drivers are up to date.

 

You can find what video card you have by clicking on START then

 

RUN. Type in “DXDIAG”. When the diagnostic window pops up, click

 

on the DISPLAY tab. The program will tell you what video chipset you

 

have. Copy that name then search it with an online search engine like

 

GOOGLE™. Find your video card company’s web address and search

 

for newer drivers. If updating your drivers does not work, you probably

 

have one of the older video cards and cannot achieve a widescreen

 

resolution. You’ll need to upgrade your video card to a newer one.
