Hi. My brother gave me his computer and it has windows 7 installed. The problem is that the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 and it doesn't look good at all, the fonts and icons are too big and it looks disproportionate. I checked the resolution configuration screen and seems to be that the...

Well, I had posted a thread in the installation forum a little while ago where I had trouble installing Windows 7 on a computer I built, and now a few days later while that problem has been solved the rig has been giving me grief in a different way. I've exhausted my own troubleshooting skills...
