    Suddenly my monitor resolution has changed from 1280 x 1024 to 800 x 600 and for some reason it will not readjust in the control panel, ..then some kind of warning window pops up AMD Vision control saying something about a driver problem? I don't even know what this AMD program does! but it seems to be loaded on my machine, and no matter what I do, I can't manually readjust the screen resolution back to where it was! ...even worse now I opened the AMD control center and there is a Driver update link there, but when I try to download those updates I get a popup saying something is amiss with the website! ...Any suggestions about this?

    Hi John,

    This link will automatically detect the model and version of your video card and operating system.
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool

    If a new driver is available this tool will help you download it.
    After you have installed the updated driver, you should be able to adjust your screen resolution.
