i have an IBM thinkpad that will not change its screen resolution
i have tried to change it by the display method, but it does not work, it is
set to the lowest setting and can not be changed to anything else but what is set to now. which mean that the active screen is in the centre of the screen and i have a large blank border around it, any ideas how i can get it to use all of the screen? i have just reinstalled the laptop with windows98se and it was like this on the first start up. thanks Jason windows98, |

Did you use win98se by IBM for the thinkpad, if not you are without luck, the
drivers for the IBM screen are not on a generic win98 disk but you may be able to download them from IBM -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters "jc calling" thank you for you valued help wrote in message ... | i have tried to change it by the display method, but it does not work, it is | set to the lowest setting and can not be changed to anything else but what | is set to now. which mean that the active screen is in the centre of the | screen and i have a large blank border around it, | | any ideas how i can get it to use all of the screen? | | i have just reinstalled the laptop with windows98se and it was like this on | the first start up. | | thanks | | Jason | windows98, | | |

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.
