Settings

I have just reinstalled Win98 - and find the setting is now at 640 x 480 and I can't change it. The slider isn't moving. What can I do?

Welcome to CTH norm.

Have you installed the updated drivers for your video card? If you can't change the resolution, sounds like you either have to install them from the CD that came with the PC or download them from the company's site.

Or if you can't find it post the video card type and model here and we will find one for you. Also make sure your not in safe mode.

Hi norm price, welcome to Cyber Tech Help.

Download Belarc Advisor,
install it,
run it,
and it will tell you what graphics card/chip you have...
it will be under Display which is listed in
the right side column.

Tell us what it says you have, and we should be able
to get you something to click-on that will fix your
problem.

Really appreciate the helpful messages - thanks.

Downloaded Belarc Advisor and it shows the following:

Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)
[Display Adapter]
plug and play monitor

Windows doesn't even recognise that 'new hardware' has been installed!

Hello,Spider

I may be out of place here but can't
they goto Device Manager then
click on the + for display adapters

then Highlight the display adapter
click on remove reboot & lit windows
replace the adapter

Good luck

Unfortunately going to device manager doesn't help. I tried it before I uploaded my message.
