Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.

  • Why would the "Reply with Changes" command be grayed out in Word?
  • Why would the screen resolution slider not move away from 640x480?
  • How do I remove "svchost.exe" from my pc?

Why would the "Reply with Changes" command be grayed out? If I understand correctly the document you are editing would have to have been emailed to you "for Review" for that option to be enabled.

Why would the screen resolution slider not move away from 640x480? The resolution slider displays only those resolutions that your video card's device driver indicates that it can support. In this case the driver you are using appears to report that it can only support 640x480. This is commonly caused by using the "generic" VGA driver, instead of a driver specifically for your brand and model of video card.

How do I remove "svchost.exe" from my pc? You don't, it's a required system file on Windows XP. See this article on svchost for more details.

hey.
did u recently update your graphics card. because i did and my resolution came to 640px by 480px and 4bit color. then i rolled back my graphics card then everything worked out perfectly.

go to device management in control panel then go to display adapters then roll back your update.

hope this works

OK this is real easy. First, if you change your display adapter, you need to install the specific driver for that display card (if your version of Windows doesn't recognise it) Probably a good idea to download the latest driver from the manufacturers web site.
Second - If your display keeps reseting the resolution/colours, then it's either using the default XP driver or you may be in "safe mode". If in "safe mode" then your troubles may lie elsewhere. If not, as before, download and install the latest drivers from the manufacturers web site.

By the way, has anybody bothered to look in their Event Viewer - you might get some good clues as to the real nature of your problems...

Hey, also, SVCHOST is not a virus. It is perfectly normal to see several copies of this running in the background. They are Service Processes and are supposed to be there. Some can be removed using device manager but if you do, you may crash or reset the system. Leave them alone.

Just thought I should mention that.
