Can't change display setting
Every time I boot up my display is at 640x480. Tried
changing it but the settings are lost. Everything seems ok in Device Manager. I am not set up to run VGA (video adapter looks ok). msconfig settings look ok. I don't know anything about regedit - could there be a problem in the registry? Any suggestions as to wheer else to look anyone? |

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.

Thanks Joe but...
I haven't just re-installed windows. I have a similar problem with my mouse not appearing when I start up (logged under the Plug and Play section). I tried re- installing my mouse driver to fix this and it made no difference - so am unwilling to re-install my video card other than as a last resort. I have all my installation cds though so may try this tonight. -----Original Message----- 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.

As it's not to do with "Display" I logged it under "Plug
and Play" - as I stated below. I have now tried re- installing my Mouse driver and cannot get my pc to recognise it, so I am definately reluctant to try re- installing my video driver. -----Original Message----- I don't see anything in the original post referring to a mouse problem.

This newsgroup deals with Display problems. You might want to post your
question on the Windows 98 General Discussion newsgroup. Also, I am confused as to why you posted on someone else's thread. Did I respond to your post? BTW - I do not access this newsgroup through the Microsoft website. I used Outlook Express to access it, so, there is no "below" for me. Joe wrote in message ...
