screen resolution issue

hello, i don't know if this is the right place or not, since its i'm pretty sure the problem lies with Vista.
previously, when i play any game it will automatically reduce its own resolution so the game will be full screen even its running lower than native resolution.
today, it doesn't automatically adjust the resolution, what i get now is a tiny little display in the center with black screen surrounding it, mouse is limited to the tiny box(pic attached). this applies to all game that runs in full screen.

any of the sifu knows how to solve it? the gfx is Intel GMA X3100. no setting changes were made in between as they happen today. [attachmentid=635973]

i bought a Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB HDD from PC Zone on 16th Feb 2007, less than a month i'm having Cyclic Redundancy Check problem with it. the HDD was manufactured on 25th Jan 2007. i ran the Western Digital Data LifeGuard Diagnostic and the results below:

Test Option: EXTENDED TEST
Model Number: WDC WD800JB-00JJC0
Unit Serial Number: WD-WCAM9S030140

Capacity: 80.03 GB
SMART Status: FAIL
Test Result: FAIL
Test Error Code: 08-Too many bad sectors detected.

if i bring it back to PC Zone, they will send it to WD for repairing or replace it with a new one?
