Can't change resolution

You have to install the drivers for the card.
Windows might have installed a standard driver for the card.You must have recieved a driver CD or floppy with your card.insert it and in the Device Manager select update driver and point to the locationof the drivers(Cd drive or Floppy drive - you should have a ".inf" file on the CD or Floppy).If there is a setup.exe or install.exe file then you can run that program from explorer and the drivers will be installed.

The best thing I can say is go to the one place that has help me out in the past

WWW.WINDRIVERS.COM

you should find the newest drivers for the Intek 740 graphics Adapter and most any other drives updates you may need

Ive already used the disc and updated drivers from the website. Shit all changed.

Sometimes windows gets its panties in a wad and refuses to believe that the settings are right. Download the correct drivers for your card and remember the directory they are in. Make sure that they are ready to go. Unzipped ect.

Boot into safe mode and go to device manager and make sure that there is only one video adapter listed. If there is more than one remove them both and reboot. If you have to do this you might get lucky and on reboot it will detect and you can install the drivers and get on with it. If win tells you that the drivers already there, tell it to use the new ones. This will replace corrupted files. If this doesn't solve your problem read on.

Set your video to standard vga and SHUTDOWN!Don't reboot it doesn't always flush memory when you reboot. A shutdown guarantees to flush the corrupted drivers out. On reboot you might get a I know better than you do window about the display settings being wrong. Cancel out no matter how much it insists. And be patient. It sometimes will take a while as windows ponders the situation. If it has the display manager open great if not go into control panels and open display and go through the procedure to install new drivers for the adapter. Direct it to the location you saved them in and even if it thinks it know's better insist on using the new drivers. If it says that the files are already on the hard drive tell it to replace them. On reboot you should be able to go in and set display colors and resolution.

Good Luck Lee

I have had to go as far as going into resedit and ripping the drivers out by hand before doing a reinstall.

Chances are that windows does not know what type of monitor you are using. With out knowing what the monitor is capable of it will stay in 640X480 to prevent damaging the screen. Try selecting a minitor like 800X600 SVGA or 1024X768 SVGA. You will want to uncheck the option for automatically detecting Plug and Play nobtors. You can do all of this in Control Panel > Display > Setting > Advanced.

Hi,I have ran into the same problem before.What I had to do was install the video cd in the cd rom and click on start/run/and install the video card from there before windows would reconize it.Then I could go to Display and change the driver to match the correct drivers.

I have ran into this problem with 9x operating systems more so in 95 than 98. Make sure that only one video card shows up in your hardware manager, sometimes Windows sees both cards and uses the default 640x480 and 256 colors. To fix this delete both video cards in the hardware manager, restart and when windows finds the video adapter click the have disk button and you should have the correct adapter configured.

Start Windows in safe mode. Open up the Device manager and click the plus sign next to Display Adapters. You will probably find a listing for Standard VGA and another for your installed adapter. Highlight Standard VGA and then click the remove button at the bottom of the window. Click OK and then reboot. Hopefully your problems are over.
