Display on Laptop HELP!
Hey everyone. I have a Dell Latitude CPt laptop and I
installed Windows 98 on it. Everything's working, but the display is only about half the screen, and I can only get 16 colors. It won't let me make the screen any bigger. I've tried the "Setting; Advanced; Monitor; Change" and then the wizard, but I'm not sure what to do. I downloaded a Laptop 1024x820 or whatever driver from the list, but the screen still can't change. Can someone help???? |

Look for the drivers CD and install the video display adapter driver.
