I did a system recovery recently and it fixed my old problem, but I have a new problem... My computer is stuck on 800x600 resolution. When I try to change it, I click apply and it seems to be trying to change it, but when it finishes loading, everything is the same. My driver is updated but I don't know what else to do. I have even tried to change the DPI and it doesn't change either.

Ok. Thanks for the help, I still have one question though. How do I uninstall the video drivers?

Your video drivers should have a listing in Add/Remove Programs. You can uninstall the drivers in there.

If they are not listed there, you can use Device Manager to uninstall the drivers.
