A couple of weeks ago I installed a game called tiberian sun and had no
problems with anything. A couple days ago I tried instaliing it with a
different serial number because the game's from 1999 and the serial was
invalid for online. So eventually after installing it about 3 times I just
installed the game and the expansion like before. Now before all of this
happened (right before the last install) my computer told me to delete a
file, forget what it was, some system32 file. So I deleted it, then the
expansion installer froze, when I tried installing the expansion for the game
again, so I shut it down. Then I couldn't install the expansion and my
monitor wouldn't display the native resolution anymore. 1680x1050 would
always show up as 1600x1200. I hate it, it's so blurry and now my eyes hurt.
I have it at a lower setting in the mean time but it's too big. My graphics
card can support it as I had it supporting it before. It's sis mirage 3
(integrated graphics) and it was all fine. This also happened before sp1. So
I used system restore and now my game works but the monitor is still messed.
Please help and I don't want to pay a computer guy, I'm only 15 (and for
being 15, I know too much about computers, but this just stumped me).

Go to Acer's website and download the correct video driver for your
computer. Uninstall the current one and install the new one.

You don't know as much about computers as you think you do if you just
delete "some system32 file" without knowing what it is and what you are
doing.
