Well, let's start, my computer's HardDrive *died.*

I sent it to Bestbuy("The Geek Squad.")

Got it back(finally,) they gave me a new Harddrive, and charged me 100 bucks(Which shouldn't have been charged, the broked the warranty. ;;)

Now, I hooked it all up and good, and I start it up, anticipating to play all my games, and what do I get?

"Mode Not Supported."

...
...
...

I call Bestbuy, and they say they can't do anything, and that I would have to bring it in, with the monitor, which I don't want to do. So, I'm kind of confused.

I was wondering, if there was a way to fix it... As at this point, they set the resolution too friggin high for my monitor to allow it...

I swear, how did they ever need to change the resolution to install a new HDD? ; ;

Bestbuy is a corporate *****. Fin.

You should be able to change your resolution through the control panel.
