possibly a useless answer,
but,
after installing the drivers did you go to display settings and change the
screen size/color depth

| You've been posting this same message to everyone for as long as I can

|
| Any constructive advice?

| If you just reinstalled Windows, or you cannot change to 256, 16 bit,

or
| 32
| bit color, you probably need to reinstall your video card drivers.
|
| To reinstall your video card drivers, you need to know the exact make

and
| model of your video card in order to install the correct/updated

drivers.
|
| There are several ways to determine what kind of video card you have.
|
| 1. Check the manual that came with your PC.
|
| 2. You can open your PC tower to look at the video card and note the

name
| and numbers printed on it.
|
| 3. You can download and run this program from MajorGeeks.com. It

might be
| able to determine what kind of video card you have:
|
| AIDA32 - Enterprise System Information 3.93
|
| http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=183
|
| To find the Aida32 info you need to post, run the Aida32 program, and
| click
| the + sign next to Computer
| on the left side of your screen then click Summary.
|
| Then Right click the information on the *right* side of your screen

and
| select Copy. You can then paste the information in Notepad or paste

it
| directly to this newsgroup.
|
| Aida32 will tell you a lot about what's inside your PC. In addition

to
| telling us the *Brand and Model Number* of your computer, please post

back
| the information Aida32 reports for your:
|
| Motherboard
|
| CPU
|
| Chipset
|
| Display PCI/AGP Video
|
| Display GPU
|
| This information will assist us in finding the correct video drivers,

and
| directing you to the video card manufacturer's website so you can

download
| and install them.
|
| *** IMPORTANT *** Remember to tell us the *Brand and Model Number* of

your
| computer which is printed on your PC case or is listed in the manual

that
| came with your computer.

| After a crash on a friends system, the resolution went so 640 x 480

x
| 16.
| I
| reinstalled the correct driver and it did not fix it. I also

checked
| msconfig advanced, to see if the 640 x 480 x 16 was checked -- it
| wasn't.
| Is it possible that some system files were damaged from the crash?
| Would
| running SFC be the next step?
|
| Any ideas?
|
| Thanks
