if there is no buttons on the outside right click on the desktop and click properties and just look around there.

check ur video drivers, it might not even be installed, therefore prohibiting you from setting to native resolution. just an idea

device manager - right click my computer > properties > hardware tab > device manage

or

start > run > type in "devmgmt.msc" > hit enter

check to see if you have any little yellow question mark things

hes right, its gotta be your drivers. since you reformatted, youll be missing way more drivers than that though.

I had the exact same problem when I reformatted my laptop, so I found the CD that came with my laptop with all of the drivers on it, I installed the drivers, then I was good to go...search around for that CD, it is very helpful.
