Can't Change Desktop "Screen Area" in Display Properties from 640 X 480 to higher setting
Hi Buffalo,
There was no "place" in the display properties to check or change the display refresh rate on this Global PC. I downloaded the Trident display Win98 driver from http://members.driverguide.com, but it didn't "work". After a reboot, the display driver was no longer Trident's, but Microsoft's 2 or 16 colors, set at 16 colors. Even at 16 colors, I was unable to change the Screen Area from 640 X 480 to a higher setting. Note: Before doing this, I had backed up the WINDOWS "tree", so I had not trouble restoring it to the way it was.

In the Display Properties, "Settings" tab, I am unable to change the "Screen Area" to a higher setting (stuck on 640 X 480). I have no trouble changing "Color" resolution from 256 Colors, "High Color" (16 bit), or "True Color" (24 bit). I tried "High Color" but I still could not make it change. Note: This has a Trident display driver. Thank You in Advance, John PS, If you reply via email, remove "ine" from my email address Check the refresh rate in display properties (rt click on a blank spot in your Desktop and select properties) and go through it. If you don't have the latest video driver, find it and dl it to a location you will remember. Uninstall your present video drivers and reboot and install the new drivers for your vid card. If there are no newer drivers, uninstall the old ones, reboot and install the drivers again. Buffalo |
