Susan,

Would this clear up the problem with the Intel and the color depth
problem which is limited to 16?


You colour depth problem has nothing to do with the Intel graphics chip
and or its driver since you say your monitor is connected to an ATI Radeon
graphics card and I suspect you have not installed any drivers for that
card which is working in basic VGA mode. What you need to do is download
and install Win Me drivers for the card from the ATI site (www.ati.com)
after which you should be able to select a resolution and colour depth to
suit your requirements. Disabling the Intel graphics chip in the bios
would remove this from the Device Manager.

Do I need to go to Dell documentation
somewhere to figure out how to disable it in the BIOS?


If unfamiliar with the bios options then yes that would be a very good
idea.
