When the correct screen resolution (screen area) or the right number of
colors are not available choices in display properties, settings tab, then it is a good bet you do not have the right driver installed for your display adapter. The display adapter in your PC is either a video card or a display chipset on the motherboard. If you received a CD or floppy disks with drivers along with your PC, see if they contain a display adapter driver and install it using: control panel, system, device manager, display adapter. If you know what display adapter your PC has but you have no disks, use www.google.com to track down the correct driver on the internet. If you do not know what display adapter your PC uses, you can go to a MS-DOS prompt and type: Debug and hit enter. The screen will display a flashing prompt next to a - sign. Type: DC000:35 (DC000:50 may also work) and hit enter. The name and possibly model of your display adapter should appear on the right hand side of the screen. To quit Debug, type Q and hit enter. If Debug is not helpful, you can try this program: Aida32 available from: http://www.aumha.org/free.htm Your final option is to remove the computer case, look at where the monitor plugs into the back of the case and then check that location inside the case. If there is a card there, you have a video card and if there is a cable connected to the motherboard it is on board graphics. Write down any information displayed on either the card or the chipset on the motherboard. Then use www.google.com to search for the information. Do not include all the data you found in one search message--search on each piece individually. If you include all the information at once, you might not get a hit. I have found that a video card will generally have to be removed in order to see the information. Be careful of static electricity as it can fry components. Before touching anything in the computer case (the cord is unplugged, right?), ground yourself to the case by touching it. Don't work on carpeting since shuffling your feet on it can generate static electricity after you grounded yourself. Remove the one screw that holds the card in place and using a rocking motion (left to right and back), pull the card straight out. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Dell moniter" Dell wrote in message ...

I've bought a bunch of Dells and each came with a Resource CD which must be
installed. Once installed, it contained all the drivers the PC required. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Dell moniter" wrote in message ...
