I have a HP Pavilion 6630 Desktop PC. Today I was having some problems with my registry so I did a registry restore. When I restarted it the color setting was at 16 and everything is huge. I also had to reinstall some drivers. The only options are 2 and 16 and they weren't like that before. The display adapter says AOC D556 on Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA). I'm not sure if that's what it has always been, but it didn't look like this. If anyone could PLLEEEAAASSEE help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Welcome to CTH
Obviously, you need to find and reinstall your video card drivers. Got any CD's with the computer?
You can do this:
Reboot and hit F8 key before it starts windows, a menu comes up select Command Prompt:
This will bring you to the C:\> prompt then type the following:
1. Type debug and then hit {Enter}. The system will display a single dash ("-").
2. Type the following exactly d c000:0010 then hit {Enter}
This will display the contents of the beginning part of the video BIOS ROM. The system will display a bunch of hexadecimal digits across most of the screen. On the left-hand side you will see text letters that correspond to these codes. For most video cards, you will see the name of the manufacturer and information about the video chipset type and version number.
You should see some information on the right hand side. Post that here and we can help you find the right drivers.
Scroll Down If Necessary: On some systems you may need to scroll down further to find the information. Do this by typing just "d" and then {Enter}, one or more times. More information will display on the screen.
Exit "DEBUG": Press "q" and then {Enter} to quit the debug program.
