I have looked every where for the mfg of the video card,
to no avail. All I can come up with is Standard PCI
Graphics adapter (VGA)...?? I ran Aida32 and have all
sorts of info about my system but don't have any idea what
to do now. (???) Thank you for replying!

Hi Mitzi,

This usually indicates that there is an incorrect video

driver installed.
Here's some information on replacing the video driver.

Tip: Go to Start - Run and type Msconfig and press enter.

On the
General Tab click advanced, and make sure "VGA 640x480x16

is
NOT checked before continuing.

To correct this you will first have to identify the video

card installed.
That may include checking documentation, contacting the

system
manufacturer, or opening the box and looking for

identifying marks
on a video card or video chip on the mother board. Some

systems
will display the Video Adapter information on the top of

the screen
when the system first boots up. Some manufacturers

displays a logo
screen that may cover this information. It may be able to

be removed
temporarily by pressing the ESC key when the logo first

appears. Once
the Video card has been identified, go to the

manufactures web site,
download and install the latest video driver and install

it as per there
instructions. Or the system may have shipped with a video

card driver it can
also be used.
