Brian A.,
Below is the information you requested. I'm not having a problem with
the video itself. It's the Graphics acceleration that isn't
functioning properly. The AGP is Disabled, according to Everest.
It's an IBM 300GL, Model No. 628760U. Intel and IBM are no longer
making driver downloads available for this model, from what I could
glean from their sites. Thanks for any suggestions.

Charlie,
Let's get down to basics so we can help.

If you do not have the video drivers for your adapter/onboard chip

and are
unsure of how to obtain/install them, or if you do not have the disk

that was
supplied with it that contains the drivers, please read and follow

the requested
suggestions courtesy of a regular in this ng Joe727.

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 free program. It might be able to

determine
what kind of video card you have:

Everest Home Edition
http://www.lavalys.com/products/down...ng=en&pageid=3

To find the Everest info you need to post, run the Everest 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.

Everest 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 Everest 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.

Sorry for the confusion. I should have typed Video Adapter.

Everest
reports the Memory Size for the S3Trio Video Adapter as 4 MB.

64MB is
the Aperture Size of the AGP Controller. Below is the list of PCI
devices, to clear things up, I hope. I was hoping I could fix

this
problem without going into the BIOS. I've never tried that, and

I'm
relatively new at this. Thanks.
