Buy a new monitor... if you try to go higher the screen will turn black and there won't be a way to get the resolution low again. Unless you memorize where everything is and do it while the screen is black.
I suggest you buy a new monitor.
Ok, so I reinstalled Windows XP in my computer and now my monitor is ty.
I'm at a 640 x 480 pixels screen resolution and 4 bit color quality. I can't go any higher or any lower.
I have no idea what to do.

It was working perfectly today.
What happened was I installed a cd given to me, but windows would have shut it down in 30 days because of its WPA.
So I took the cd rom that came with my notebook and installed it into my computer.
Now the monitor is all funky. I don't think it installed the device driver.
:/ I still suggest you get a new one.
download the driver on the internet...
yep, upgrade the video drivers!
Which one? Where? How...? lol
Can someone please instruct me.
Your video card driver is probably screwed up. You said the monitor was working, was it working with XP? Cause XP will only let you decrease the resolution to 8 bit in safe mode.
Go to your control panel. Find your video card driver, make sure your connected to the internet-right click on the driver and click update driver.
Take out your vid card and put it in a different slot. If it's AGP, remove and re-seat again.
How do I take out my video card?
Just update your driver. I'm willing to bet you have an out-dated driver.
Go to the device manager section of your control panel and update the video card driver.
Go to control panel - switch to classic view - click on system icon - click on the hardware tab - click on the button that says control panel - look for the + by display adapter (there is probably a yellow exclamation point), click on the +, a - should appear as well as the name of your current display adapter. right-click on that display adapter and click on the upgrade now option. Allow the search to look for your driver on the internet.
Thanks for all the tips guys... but it was much more simpler than I thought.
I just didn't have my driver enabled.
I completely forgot about that.
My computer is back to its former self.
Thanks again.
