Trouble Changing Resolution
I am having problems with my resloution. I am running WIN 98 and my can't
change my resolution. It is stuck on 640 X 480. I recently did the following things to increase speed on my PC: 1) Went to Start, Run, msconfig, and disabled all of my start-up programs; 2) Deleted my cookies and files from temporary internet files; 3) deleted programs from Add/Remove on the control panel After I did this, that's when I started having problems with my resolution. Did I do something wrong? Thanks, Brad |

MSConfig is not the correct place to be managing your startup programs. If
you don't want a program to start automatically then you should unset the option from within the program itself, or your should uninstall or disable the program. You will find that some of the programs you disabled in MSConfig have simply re-enabled themselves. Do Start / Run / MSConfig and make sure Normal Startup is selected. Choose Advanced and make sure VGA 640x480x16 is NOT selected. Do Start / Settings / Control Panel / Display / Settings / Advanced / Adapter and note the adapter description. If this is some type of generic VGA driver, or if it doesn't exactly match the adapter installed in your machine, then you need to find and install the video adapter drivers specific to your particular hardware. These should be available at the video adapter card manufacturer's www site, or if the video adapter is integrated into the motherboard then it should be available at the motherboard manufacturer's www site. You may have been provided with a CD as part of your system deal - in that case the drivers should be on that CD. If you have upgraded your video adapter since you bought the machine then the upgrade should have included a CD that would have the drivers on it. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Jeff" wrote in message ...
