monitor resolution adjustment to low, please help!

[18robertjrr]

I'm trying to install dsl on my brother's pc(dell precision 410 with 800mh proc.,512mb ram) and get stuck on monitor resolution too low warning page. The monitor won,t adjust beyond 400 x 600 resolution and 4-bit color( I need at least 80x600 and 16-bit). Also device manager says video controller(vga compatible) not installed/or enabled. Do I need driver downloads for both of these or is it something else . Any help is appreciated Thanks bob

You need to download & install drivers for your video card.

Edit: To do that you will first need to find out what video card you have, download, install & run Everest which will tell you. Keep it as it's a very good program.

Is this a CRT monitor or an LCD?
