If you just reinstalled Windows, or you cannot change to 256, 16 bit, or 32
bit color, you probably need to reinstall your video card drivers.
To reinstall your video card drivers, you need to know the exact make and
model of your video card in order to install the correct/updated drivers.
There are several ways to determine what kind of video card you have.
1. Check the manual that came with your PC.
2. You can open your PC tower to look at the video card and note the name
and numbers printed on it.
3. You can download and run this program from MajorGeeks.com. It might be
able to determine what kind of video card you have:
AIDA32 - Enterprise System Information 3.93
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=183
To find the Aida32 info you need to post, run the Aida32 program, and click
the + sign next to Computer
on the left side of your screen then click Summary.
Then Right click the information on the *right* side of your screen and
select Copy. You can then paste the information in Notepad or paste it
directly to this newsgroup.
Aida32 will tell you a lot about what's inside your PC. In addition to
telling us the *Brand and Model Number* of your computer, please post back
the information Aida32 reports for your:
Motherboard
CPU
Chipset
Display PCI/AGP Video
Display GPU
This information will assist us in finding the correct video drivers, and
directing you to the video card manufacturer's website so you can download
and install them.
*** IMPORTANT *** Remember to tell us the *Brand and Model Number* of your
computer which is printed on your PC case or is listed in the manual that
came with your computer.
