Unable to change screen resolution

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me! I am currently running Windows XP Pro and
am trying to change my screen resolution from 800*600 to 1024*768

I have done this once or twice before but now it won't work. I can move
the adjustment button to the desired resolution, and click apply. The
screen goes blank for a few seconds but when it goes back to normal....
the setting is at 800*600. I have it on high quality colour (doesnt work
when I change the settings to medium)

I have tried it under another log in name (who def. has admin rights)
but it does the same thing.

If anyone has any ideas how to fix this, I would be so so greatful,

Thanks heaps!

And if that doesn't work, try reinstalling the video drivers.
