can you access the Display Properties at all? or when you change it, it just doesn't do anything?

I can access it but its all greyed out.. and when i reboot the picture i have set flashes then disappears. i have a dell and its only a year old and of course you no longer get cd's to repair or anything. I tried to set everything to default settings but that didnt do anything either. I no its a minor problem but I think its strange.

I've seen something like this before, and Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware fixed it

Two very straightforward programs - run them and then see if that fixes it!
