Hi
I purchased a Nvidia Optimised from Novatech today and the display resolution is stuck on 800 x 600 with 4 bit colour. When i try to change it, it displays "The display control panel is unable to change the display setting, you may not have appropiate administative rights to change these settings".
I contacted Novatech and they advised me to reinstall the driver but when i did this, it told me i was installing a older version so i aborted.
Can i have some advise please?
Thanks alot

I would be making sure you have adminstrator rights on the PC - Is your user account part of the administrators group?
As mentioned, I would download the latest driver from Nvidia's website.“Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be thrown out of the nearest window!”0
