Solved: screen resoluotion
hey guys, i just reformatted my hardrive, wanted to start over from scratch. everything's going well so far, but my screen resolution, i don't know how to explain it, just looks odd. i have a widescreen laptop, and everything sort of looks stretched. when i try to play with the resolution settings , i only have two options, 800x600 or 1024x768. i'm not sure if this has anything to do with things looking blurry and stretched, or if it's a driver issue. hope you can help me out.
thanks for your time.

in response to cwwozniak's post, when i put in the dell resource cd, it seems that there are check marks next to drivers that are already installed. however, there are no checkmarks next to any of the available video drivers (assuming that these are the drivers i'm supposed to be looking for.) if i try to install any of them, it says that the software to install them cannot be found. you said you needed the model number, its a Dell Inspiron E1705 if that helps.
in response to schusterjo's post, once i enter device manager, there is no "display" section. all of the drivers seem to be installed except for the ones under the heading "other devices." the drivers listed are the same ones that do not have checkmarks and cannnot be installed from the resource cd.
