Can you help me recover my screen resolution options in system preferences?

This weird, but today's software update deleted all but 2 of my screen resolution options in the display section of system preferences. The 2 remaining options are not ideal for my iMac. Does anyone know how I might restore the options that were lost?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I think what you are seeing may be a problem introduced by apple latest update.


With one person reporting this, it could have been a problem with that user's system.


imac only has 2 resolutions


But with two other users posting in that thread about the same problem under the same circumstances (worked before update and doesn't after) and now you also having the same problem I now think it's the update that screwed things up somehow.


All I can suggest is revert to your backup of your system, i.e., the one you did before you upgraded your system and then wait for another apple update. You did do that backup didn't you? 😉
