I just finsihed putting together an older computer for my basement. It has a voodoo3 2000 in it, i just finished installing pc cillin when it rebooted the resolution changed fr0m 800X600 to 640X480....When I went to change it back it is now stuck on 640x480 and won't go back. I tried different bits but still nothing. I removed pc-cillin but still it won't change back...Help would be greatly appreciated. Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted

At a guess I would say you have video driver problems.
Remove and reinstall Voodoo drivers and see how you go.
Martin Please let members know if there advice has helped any.
 
I have found the reason why the settings keep changing back to 640X480 windows has set a default monitor and the resolution wont let me go any higher. This is the first time i've had this problem. I have tried adding a different monitor but the deafault keeps popping back. Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted

I fixed the problem...the default monitor that windows was setting up was 640x480 and I had to go into properties and change it to 800x600 Scotty Mac a.k.a smaxted
