Ok, so I just got rid of a virus by formatting the DRIVE. I installed my operating system (XP) with no problem, setup the internet, and downloaded all those other programs that I used to have (Vuze, VLC player, Firefox, etc.). Then I remembered I needed to download Service Pack 3. I SUCCESSFULLY downloaded it, but when it rebooted, everything looks real big and the color/resolution is VERY poor. For example, the task bar at the BOTTOM is supposed to be blue, but it looks turquoise. I tried to system restore to prior installing Service Pack 3, but that was useless. I am frustrated from wasting my time on the virus, reinstalling everything, and now trying to fix this. Does anyone have a SOLUTION for this?Download this http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

once downloaded, run it. in the menu on your left, right-click DISPLAY, quick report, then plain text
copy that into a code or quote block. Your missing your driver, most likely.I would put my money on a missing driver.

You should be able to get your driver via Windows Update.Drivers should be downloaded form:
1. computer maker site
2. device maker site

Micro$oft is not always sure what it's doing.
