Post by: chris peloso on June 10, 2005, 07:36:03 PM

I can't get my monitor to change from the 16 color setting or get off the 640 by 480 pixels setting!! None of my prgams will run right! The Display setting bar for screen size and color will not move!! What can I do? I can barely read this page right now! HELP!

Check your video drivers.
Right click on my computer and select  
properties>hardware>device manager and look for display adaptor.

It says I have the Standard PCI Graphics Adaptor (VGA)
and the best driver is already in use, so I can't change it. But I need to change it!
