Default Still Can't resize shrunk display

I've been struggling with WinMe on our Dell Latitude (even
after getting some good suggestions here, thanks). After
doing a Microsoft Update to WinMe the screen on the built
in display for the notebook has been shrunk to 640x480.

I have downloaded and tried Dell's driver for the NeoMagic
hardware that drives the internal display. No luck.

It seems that there's no 'Internal Monitor' or 'Internal
Display' on the list of Monitors for us to choose from.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again!!!

Default

You shouldn't need to choose any - just reboot to Safe Mode, open Device
manager, Remove ALL Monitors, and Display adapters.
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the drivers required
(probably Default Monitor or PnP Monitor, in your case)
