Hi guys. been watchin the forum space for a while now. and i now have a problem so thought of joining and posting here.

i have a toshiba p200 pspb6a-ocso4m below is the link.

what has happened is that the video card s not being recognized and so i can not use the max resolution of 1440x900, nor can i play any games, which i do primarily. the windows device manager sees the display adapter as a standard vga disply adapter, when for the past year it has read "mobility radeon HD2600"

i dont know what is wrong. i have had it for a year now, and it is still under warranty.
and i am getting a service, but just wanted to ask first for quick help.

thanks in advance.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. Does it do the same with an external display?
