well, just to start things off; I suck with computers.

So this is my story! (and once again, sorry for the retardation)
- I understand that the monitor wire goes into the blue hookup located near the bottom of your back of your computer, but for some reason, my monitor wasn't working when I plugged it in there (probabaly my fault from something I can't remember) anywho, instead I decided to plug in the wire at the side/verticle blue hole, and it seemed to work. However, my video card (I think) is deciding to now work now, so I view my computer in the lowest resolution D:. Any idea what to do?


Thanks.
 
Right click on the mouse while pointing at the desktop, choose properties>settings and choose the resolution you want.

Click to expand...

what you did, is you went from using your graphics card to using onboard video. i'm guessing you bought this computer in a store? what brand is it and is it new?

if this is a new computer, and that bottom VGA port (blue connector) is not displaying any image on your screen... you may need to return the computer. if this is not a new computer and it suddenly stopped working, you may need to buy a graphics card.

you may have a disc with drivers, which will allow you to use onboard video (the top vertical blue connector)... but if my computer had a graphics card i would want it working... especially if it was a new computer.

come back and tell us what computer your using... a brand and model would be realllly helpful right now.
