Adjust your graphics settings
If video performance on your system is slow, make sure you're not using more colors or a higher screen resolution than you need to. Also make sure you're using the correct video driver for the exact make and model of your video card. A "generic" driver, while workable, often can't take advantage of chip- and card-specific hardware. Check the manufacturer's Web page for the most recent drivers.

Another possible solution to video trouble: Open the Control Panel, click on the System tab, then the Graphics button. Try moving the slider to different settings to selectively disable video options.

In an earlier tip, we told you about one of the Microsoft Powertoys called QuickRes which made it easy to Change your Screen Resolution on-the-fly. Check it out.
