Screen Resolution collapsed in Live CD
I was checking out Linux Mint Helena bit 64 with the intention of installing it. I tried to change the screen resolution from the default 1200 x to the 1074 x 7??. Instead, the images on my screen collapsed and the smaller figures were unreadable. I made the mistake and tried to click what I thought was the return to default when I should have done nothing at all. I finally just shut it down and rebotted to Windoz. Everything was fine.

Re: Screen Resolution collapsed in Live CD
It depends upon the graphic card you have installed. The LiveCD uses a default graphics capability. In a lot of cases (mine included), you need to install a 3rd party video driver post-installation. In Mint, this is very easy to do.
Reply back with the video card that you're using and someone should be able to chime in on it's level of support
OR
install Mint and let the fun begin

Yep agreed with DataMan - Graphical glitches found running the live cd are usually sorted after a proper install.
