Check the HP website for that model and download any video drivers.

Hey, all

I'm helping my friends get their computer set up, but have
encountered a display problem that I really don't know how
to get around.

They have an HP Pavilion 8250, 266 Celeron Processor, 48
MB RAM, and what I believe in onboard video/audio. I
know, it's a POS, but for what they use it for, it's
perfect. In any case, it's stuck on the most base
resolution possible, 640x480 and 16 colors. Windows ME
can't seem to find a better driver anywhere. Any
suggestions?

Thanks for the help!
