Hi Danielle,
This usually indicates that there is an incorrect video driver installed. Here's some information on replacing the video driver. Tip: Go to Start - Run and type Msconfig and press enter. On the General Tab click advanced, and make sure "VGA 640x480x16 is NOT checked before continuing. To correct this you will first have to identify the video card installed. That may include checking documentation, contacting the system manufacturer, or opening the box and looking for identifying marks on a video card or video chip on the mother board. Some systems will display the Video Adapter information on the top of the screen when the system first boots up. Some manufacturers displays a logo screen that may cover this information. It may be able to be removed temporarily by pressing the ESC key when the logo first appears. Once the Video card has been identified, go to the manufactures web site, download and install the latest video driver and install it as per there instructions. Or the system may have shipped with a video card driver it can also be used. -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 "Danielle" wrote I am unable to change your display settings to a resolution that is higher than 640 X 480 with 16 colors.

It shows a max of 16 colors and 640x480, while the Thinkpad's self-diagnostic shows megs of colors and SVGA resolutions. But there is no "msconfig" on the system or on the installation CD. Is that a 3rd party utility? Jim L -- Hey, insurgent clowns! The sooner things quiet down the sooner the Americans can leave. |

Hi Jim,
Msconfig is a MS utility that shipped with Win98. The only reason it would be missing from the CD is that the manufacturer of the OEM disk removed it. Have you tried doing a search for Msconfig by going to Start - Find - Files & folder? I would suggest going to the following site and look for a video and monitor driver for the 770E system and installing them per there instructions. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/us/all_...d_drivers.html -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 "Bert Kinney" said: This usually indicates that there is an incorrect video driver installed.
