Ergo, I opened up System Preferences then clicked on Displays. I can change my display from 1280x800 to 640x480 with ease.

Could my replaced hard drive be the source of the problem or could it be something else? If it is something else, what is it? Is there anything I can do to get my display to use thousands of colors?
