I try to change my resolution back to 32 bit but it outright refuses to change keeps jumping back to 4 bits which I have never SEEN before all thats ever been on my computer resolution is 16 bit and 32 bit I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work but nothing works now my computer screen LOOKS funny.What can I do to fix the problem? I have a Compaq Presario SR1902HM my monitor is a HP vs17e.
I tried using my system recovery to fix the problem but even it want work.
I have tried to download a virus detection program as well as spyware detection program and my computer want let me.I know a virus is doing this but have no way of finding out can't afford to have it striped either is there anything that can be done?or is my computer to far gone for me to do anything to fix the problem?Update video card driver, maybe?What operating system and service pack level? For example, Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (SP2).

If you want to check your system for MALWARE, boot to Safe Mode with Networking and attempt to load your anti-virus, anti-malware, whatever from there.

As the system starts up, tap the F8 key about once per second or faster. The Windows Advanced Options Menu should appear. Select "Safe Mode with Networking" (using the up/down arrow keys) and hit Enter key.

For the resolution issue, I agree with Broni. Update the video card driver.I have the windows xp service pack 2.I tried the safe mode thing and well and tried to download AVG,AdAware,& Spybot Search & destroy they downloaded perfect but because of the resolution problem they wouldn't work right now I am in safe mode can't use the desktop or internet without it I tried the update for my card and was told that it was already updated by the computer so I'm guessing LOL that my computer is to far gone for me to do anything on my end just have to wait to wednesday to get it stripped LOL which really sucks.
THANKS FOR THE HELP!I'M VERY GRATEFUL! THANK YOU AS WELL BRONI FOR BEING THE FIRST TO HELP AND FOR THE ADVISE I'M VERY GRATEFUL! Did you uninstall old driver, first?Because most anti-virus software won't run in safe mode...try "Enable VGA Mode" this will load drivers that will run any card, and also keep the OS able to run all your programs (apart from 3D intensive ones)

And then try run your programs from there, and also updating drivers sounds like the best idea

Kurtis1. Stripping. Don't THROW your money away on "stripping" (wiping?). Although it may take some time to work through, I've got to believe you can resolve this problem without "stripping". (Any chance you have a background in exotic dancing?)

2. Uninstall Old Video Driver. Boot to either Normal or Safe Mode.
