Ok firstly Mat can you download and run this for me:
Download HijackThis 2.0.2 - FileHippo.com
Please post a HJT log for me just copy and paste in your next post.
I will check the log and see if I can rule out or in an infection.
This could possibly save time and get you sorted much quicker.
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool
I would not buy and Acer,plus I do not think in my opinion there is a laptop out there that can play real high spec games to a good level without causing issues.
A system restore is an option?
Jesse am I correct in thinking that is a PII or PIII computer?
It also looks like the cards you picked would not be suitable.
If you post the full make and model of the PC or the make and model of mainboard that would greatly help us help you.
Hey Darren I would go into device manager and uninstall the driver for the monitor.
Then right click and choose update driver.
See if that helps if the wrong driver is installed this maybe why you cannot change the reolution.
I am trying to see if there is a driver available but not having much luck searching.
Darren have you downloaded the monitor driver?
Some monitors require there own hardware driver download to configure them.
What does it show in windows for your monitor under display?
Hello there and welcome.
Your monitor only supports upto 1440 x 900 so it was not your GPU but your monitor is the issue.
You would need to purchase a better monitor that supports that higher resolution.
EDIT: Are you running Vista?If yes then you would also need to configure the monitor and GPU via windows and the NVIDIA Control Panel advanced options.
