Renistall the motherboard chipset drivers. You might want to check the
motherboard manufacturer's website for updated chipset drivers.

This is the exact same driver (version and everything) I had installed on
his machine before. Some other tech had worked on this machine prior to
me
and had scanreg unchecked in msconfig startup, so there was no other
copy
of the registry. I think I'll have to run SFC ( there are system files
connected with the driver files that load and one or more must be
corrupt.)
When the system crashed, it lost more than just the graphic settings --
it
lost the mouse ( mouse would only run in safe mode) other things got
corrupted also. I got everything restored with work around except the
video.

Thanks

My experience says that you installed the wrong driver or perhaps one
that
is a newer version and doesn't work correctly with the installed display
adapter. Does your friend have the driver disk that came with the PC or
video card? If the crash has been less than 5 days, you can try
restoring
the registry.

Well, thanks but I'm a tech (A+, Network+) and I always know what

hardware
I'm working with, especially if I built the system. All I'm trying to

find
out is if someone else has reinstalled adapter drivers after a major

crash
only to find some system files corrupt. I'm trying to avoid a full
reinstall.

Thanks

My post is full of constructive advice. Here's a sample:

*** 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.

You've been posting this same message to everyone for as long as I

can
remember. If you read my post, you'll see that I said that I
reinstalled
the CORRECT driver. I always run ADA32 if I'm in doubt.

Any constructive advice?

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.

After a crash on a friends system, the resolution went so 640 x

480
x
16.
I
reinstalled the correct driver and it did not fix it. I also
checked
msconfig advanced, to see if the 640 x 480 x 16 was
checked --

it
wasn't.
Is it possible that some system files were damaged from the

crash?
Would
running SFC be the next step?

Any ideas?

Thanks
