Resolved Question: How do I get my monitor/sound settings back to how they were before a system restore ocurred on my computer?

My 3 year old got a hold of my computer and somehow managed to perform a system restore. Now, the drivers for my speakers and monitor are gone. The monitor that I am using now is different than the original, and I think the computer thinks it is still there. When I try to alter the resolution from 800 x 600 to 1440 x 900 in the properties, I do not find this resolution setting. How do I find this? Also, there is no sound from speakers and when I go to printers and other hardware, it shows an absence of drivers and hardware. Any ideas?

Also, system restore only gives me the choice of restoring back to the day this happened. Can’t go back any further.

Resolved Question: Why wont my monitor (wide-screen) run its primary resolution ?

I have Samsung SyncMaster 931BW that is supposed to run in 1440 x 900 res. but it wont….well…it does but its really bad !
I have to run it on 1024 x 768
Like… my screen does not fit in the monitor when on 1440×900
Could it be….i think i didn’t install drivers for the monitor.
I couldn’t find the drivers on the samsung site.

Resolved Question: I need 1440 x 900 monitor resolution!!?

Ok, I have an Acer AL1916W widescreen monitor. It needs the 1440 x 900 resolution but my computer doesnt have it. It used to but now its gone. I recently upgraded my computer to windows xp home edition sp2, could that be the reason why it is gone? I am using 1280 x 1024 resolution right now, the problem with it is that it makes the pictures wider, but the text is okay.
I looked all over google for an answer and it said to download the latest drivers. I dont know how to install them onto my computer. I also dont know if i have the latest driver or not either. I tried using powerstrip but that didnt work.

Does anyone know what exactly is wrong or what i need to do to get the 1440 x 900 resolution??
I am a real beginner at computers and need step by step instructions.
I am desperateee.
