Was this the suggested method of installation?
Was the driver file a .inf or .exe file?

Thanks Bert,

I have downloaded the driver and attempted to use it.
When I do the update driver (system; device manager;
monitor; driver) it says that it updates the driver, but
when I go back in to view the driver info it says that no
driver is required or loaded and the driver file filed is
greyed out.

Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,

This usually indicates that there is an incorrect video
driver installed.

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.

Go to the Dell web site and download the video driver for
the
system in question, and install it per there instructions.

I just refreshed Windows 98 and afterwards the fonts
were
huge and the display setting were set to 640x480 and 16
colors. When I adjust the settings, Windows accepts teh
change and does a restart. When the restart completes,
the old settings (640x480;16 colors) have returned. I
have a dell p991 monitor and Windows says that the
driver
is fine. What could prevent me from adjusting this
setting?
Thanks in advance,
Ian
