Video Card
hi to all,
Thank you in advance for reading this. I recently started using a older model of a laptop. this is a dell Latitude CPi. When i booted it up with windows 98 the screen resolution was awful. Right now the only options are 16 or 2 colors. I can only go to 640x480 resolution. I have tried many programs to find the name of the video card so that i could update the driver. Unfortunately, it keeps telling me that i have a Standard Graphics adapter (VGA) and i know this is wrong. Where can i find the actual video card's name. Please Help!! Thanks so much |

You would be much better off getting the driver from Dell.

Hi,
Thanks for responding. Yes, I could get the driver from dell, but i don't know the model and make of my graphics card. And for the life of me i cannot figure it out. If you know of a good way to figure it out that would be great. Thanks a ton!! Peter |

Been a while since I've been around Dell, but don't they give each system an
ID and you can enter that ID on their site and they can tell you the configuration. "Peter" wrote in message ... Hi, Thanks for responding.

No, it just says that the driver doesn't support the hardware. |
