Hi,
I have a compaq presario laptop with ME. It's been working fine until the other day.
I booted it up, but the screen resolution is like safe mode. It is pixely. I have right clicked on desktop,gone to properties, gone to settings, changed the colour quality to 256, 16 bit then it says i have to restart so that these changes take affect. It has restarted, but has been the same.I have probably completed the same process about 10 times, varying colour settings etc..
I have also run virus checkers, scan disk and defrag but it is not helping.
Does anyone know how i can fix this?

Thanks!

Edit: I also have no sound at all!

sounds like you lost you video and sound drivers ,look in device manager to see if there are any problems indicated by a red or yellow ! mark .
to get to device manager ,right click on mycomputer /properties /hardware /device manager .
