PC won't work again after Star Wars: The Old Republic messed up the resolution.
My default resolution was always 1366x768 @ 60 but once I launched the game for the first time, the screen went black so my monitor kept saying to revert the resolution back to 1366x768 @ 60. This was quite common w/ anything that I ran that was too much for my monitor so I knew that I should just reset it (pressed the power button for about 5 seconds).
I booted up again and unfortunately, whenever it reaches the welcome screen for Windows XP, the monitor shows the message again.
I tried the common options.
I went into VGA mode and changed it to my native screen size but when I restart, it shows the desktop for about 2 seconds (perfectly fine) but the screen goes black again and the monitor displays the stupid message again.
I also did the other method and I uninstalled my Graphics Card driver in VGA mode and booted fine in normal mode. I then installed the driver through the internet (I've been using the same driver for years now so I don't think that it's a driver version issue). Once I installed the driver, it asked me to restart immediately so I did. Unfortunately, once it restarted, it still didn't work.
Please help me, what do I do? Do I uninstall SWTOR? Do I try to connect it to our flatscreen (we don't have extra monitors)? Do I do a system restore (last resort because it's our family computer and everyone's files are in there)? I need to do something about this before someone notices and blames me again for ruining the computer when it is actually the game's fault (makes the game run at 75 refresh rate and some resolution up to 2000x1100 something)
Advice is very welcome.
