ok so i cant even figure out how to post on here this is the closest i've
gotten but any way i do have a question i just bought this new game and it
was fairly exspencive and i cant return it and its telling me it needs a
1024x768 resolution ummm what is thats and can i or how do i fix that

It's how many pixels (tiny dots) your video card and monitor can
display. 1024x768 means that your monitor is showing 1024 pixels in
each row across the screen, and 768 pixels in each column. That
resolution allows for quite a bit of detail.

To change your screen resolution, right-click on an empty part of your
desktop. Choose "Properties" from the menu that pops up, then click
the "Settings" tab in the box that appears. Look for the "Screen
resolution" slider on the left side of the resulting box.

Moving the pointer along that slider (click and drag it) will change
your resolution. You should only be able to change it to settings that
your hardware can support. Move it to where you want it, then click
"Apply" or "OK" and the bottom of the box. The screen will go blank
for a few seconds while things are changed. If it works correctly,
your screen will reappear at the new resolution, and you'll click
another "OK" box to tell the OS that everything's all right. If things
don't work and you can't see anything, just wait a bit. The system
will eventually figure out that you're not responding (in particular,
that you haven't clicked "OK"), and will return to the original
settings.

It's a post. But you don't get email in response. You post it here,
you read it here.
