Default DISPLAY PROBLEMS? HERE'S ONE SOLUTION

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 free program. It might be able to
determine what kind of video card you have:

Everest Home Edition

http://www.lavalys.com/products/down...ng=en&pageid=3

To find the Everest info you need to post, run the Everest 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.

Everest 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 Everest 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,
All went well with the link which I have copied/saved and will do the same with your
info request. If MS is still on a 90 day policy then surely the link will be invalid
when that day hits and I would then need to either Google link or simply paste your
request with info accrediting you.

Dear Joe,
Thanks for that fine Everest link. I love it.

I have the following:
Dell Dimension XPS 266
Motherboard: Intel Atlanta AL 440LX 2 ISA, 4 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 DIMM
CPU: Intel Pentium II 266 mhz (4x67)
Chipset: Intel 82440LX
Display: PCI / VGA video
standard PCI graphics adapter (VGA) (64kb)
3D accelerator is 3dLabs Permedia 2 (Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro)

When my ethernet card went down I installed a CNet Pro200WL PCI fast
ethernet adaptor (to access my cable modem). Then couldn't run the ethernet
without a total Win 98 upgrade. Formatted hard drive (with Dell tech support
guidance), and when Windows came back up I seemed to have this horrible
OVERSIZED bitmapped screen. Everest suggested problem was with having less
than 4 mb of video memory
and suggested "upgrade your video card for better performance..." I couldn't
find any listing at the 3DLabs website for the Permedia 2 Diamond Fire GL
1000 Pro, to get a driver upgrade.

What do you think is up with this? MANY THANKS, JOE! Paul
Conrad

You need to check out Diamond Multimedia for your adapter. You will need a name and
email address and they will send an email wit info on how to access. I hate it when
sites do that.

You're welcome. Everest is a great program. It used to be called Aida32.

You can get the driver for your Diamond Multimedia card at Driverguide.com.

http://members.driverguide.com/drive...riverid=123269

Use Drivers as the log-in name and all for the password.

Create a folder on your desktop called Video Drivers. Download the video
drivers to it, then open the folder and click the icon to install.

Make sure you *temporarily* disable your anti-virus software since it can
interfere with the installation of the video drivers.

Thanks SO much for posting those URLs for me. Just enormously helpful, and
really solved the problem (tears of joy). Now I am resolving a problem with
registry of the "oleacc.dll" which seems unwilling to go to work for me. Will
now go post in tthe "WIN98 internet" thread. Again TNX
