OKAY! I need help!

I have successfully done the restore and everything's backed up (as far as I know, anyway!). I had to find a few things that I didn't even know were missing and ANYWAY. Here I am, trying to dl the updates I need for XP (joy) and whatnot but holy shit.

MY MONITOR.

It's a brand new, 17" HP flatscreen. Plug and play. But it/the computer won't let me set the resolution above 1280x720 and this requires 1440x900. The current setting in my display is only 1400x1050 or something, which I can't even set. So now everything is SQUISHED and terrible.

HELP?! I don't know what to do. My computer was built for me so I'm not even 100% sure what to search for as far as drivers so, but I DO have a breakdown of the specs, if anyone can help me out.

Yeah, but it seems there's one missing for my graphics card or it just wasn't included in what I got from my tech guy, I don't know. I'm trying to google a free driver for it but I'm failing hardcore.

I'd go to the manufacturer's website and contact them to tell them what happened, give them the serial number of your graphics card, and ask them if they can't provide you with the link to the driver/s for free.
