It's nice that you know what hardware you are working with. It would be
nicer if we knew what hardware you are working with.

Well, thanks but I'm a tech (A+, Network+) and I always know what hardware
I'm working with, especially if I built the system. All I'm trying to
find
out is if someone else has reinstalled adapter drivers after a major crash
only to find some system files corrupt. I'm trying to avoid a full
reinstall.

Thanks

My post is full of constructive advice. Here's a sample:

*** 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.

You've been posting this same message to everyone for as long as I can
remember. If you read my post, you'll see that I said that I
reinstalled
the CORRECT driver. I always run ADA32 if I'm in doubt.

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
