win 98 resolution problem
« on: August 28, 2005, 02:54:37 PM »
i recently reformatted and reinstalled windows on an old computer.  having done this successfully i ran it  for the first time to discover that the resolution had been set to 640 x 480. i thought this was a simple problem, but it seem that i cant change it. when i looked in properties - settings there is only one resolution - 640 x 480 and only 16 colours or 2 colours. i updated directx but it was no help. any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

You need Win98 drivers for your video card.
