16 color "Joe 727"
I too have the same problem .... only works in 16 color and 640-480 .... in fact the only way my computer boots up is if I go into msconfig and uncheck the line display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv ... otherwise the computer wont load. I tried removeuing all videoadapters and let the computer refind them but that didnt fix the problem ,... it found them, reinstalled them, put the display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv line back into the boot section of msconfig and froze up ... I then reloaded in safe mode, unchecked the box in msconfig, and I am back where i started. Any help would be greatly appreciated

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.

I tried all that Joe. I installed new ATI drivers and everything
IS there a file called pnpdrvr.drv?? The only way my computer loads up (besides safe mode) is if I uncxheck the display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv line .... which causes the computer to stay in 16 color mode. I deleted the monitor and display adapter out of device manager and let it redected them, I downloaded the program (Belarc) you told me to and downloaded new drivers I tried everything. |

There is a reason why you are asked to post the requested information about
your computer here. We have no idea what hardware is in your PC. Without that basic information, it's impossible to offer you help. Joe wrote in message ... I tried all that Joe.
