Default Screen size

Had to re-install Windows Me
Now computer is stuck on lowest resolution and only
16 colours!
Previously it was on 1024 x 768 with a refresh rate of
75Hz.
Have tried all usual methods - but no options for change
are allowed! - not even in safe mode!
Something to do with drivers - I suppose, but I can
not cure the promlem!

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
