SWBF2 Video Settings Problem (solved)
I wasn't sure where to put this but since it has to do with my video settings I'll put it here.
The only thing I remember doing before this happened was I reinstalled SWBF2 and installed World of Warcraft. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows XP Home Edition. I don't have much graphics options for my video settings so I can't do much there, if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it because I really can't take good screenshots and play the game on lowest resolution, etc. Another thing I should mention is my Chipset does not support Antialiasing and it always showed nothing when I clicked on the tab and now it shows all the way to 6X and in my resolution tab there are no longer any resolution options. I think it might have to do with WoW because it showed in that game in the video settings Antialiasing also. Before this I never had any problems and the only video settings to be messed up in any game is SWBF2. If there is anyway of resetting my graphics or if its a Direct X 9 issue how would you fix it?

Hmm, that's an odd one. I'd first check for any driver updates via www.windowsupdate.com

Re: SWBF2 Video Settings Problem
I checked for updates and the only ones there were was some security updates for Windows IE.
EDIT: Something I forgot to mention earlier, now almost all of my games now have trouble starting and they get some message like "Failed to find a suitable device" or sometimes I get a "FATAL" Crash on SWBF2 when starting the game. I never had any crashes on these games before but after the second time starting the game it starts up normal.
EDIT 2: After disabling and re enabling my video hardware, repairing Direct X 9.0c, and reinstalling SWBF2 back onto my Drive C: something in there fixed it and everything appears normal now. Thanks for the help.
