Can't Change Desktop "Screen Area" in Display Properties from 640 X 480 to higher setting
Hi,
PROBLEM FIXED: Well I finally found the correct driver, "Trident8400AGP-Win9x-Me.zip" which I downloaded from http://members.driverguide.com. Because of a few hundred "hits" when searching for a driver for this particular display device, not as before, this time I decided to take my time and read the messages posted by the person(s) that uploaded the driver(s). I read one from a person who had very nearly the same problem I was having (stuck in 640 X 480) so I downloaded "his" driver and by golly, it solved my problem! Driver Update Method: I right clicked on "My Computer" icon and selected "Properties". Then "Device Manager" tab and expanded "Display Adapters". I selected "Trident Cyber...." and clicked on "Remove". Later a prompt popped up "...... Do you want to restart......", I clicked on "No". I closed that window, then I restarted the computer. The device manager detected new hardware (display) after the reboot and I directed it to the location of the driver I extracted from "Trident...zip". I had no trouble adjusting the "Screen Area" to 800 X 600 (or higher). Again, Thanks to everyone for your responses, John |
