I setup an IBM 6578-LBU NetVista (WinXP Pro SP2) computer using a “3D Starfighter 8MB Video Card” and all was well . . . but then had to return the Video Card when owner asked for it back.
I uninstalled the Starfighter drivers from Device Manager and plugged the Monitor into the “Onboard Video Port” thinking the PC would startup in 640×480 resolution.
Instead I got a BLACK SCREEN with WinXP Pro starting up.
When I turn the monitor “off/on” (for a second) I can see that my desktop is there “miniturized” to about 3-inches high . . . and there appears to be about EIGHT desktops in that 3-inch screen (which is unreadable and squiggly).
I can get to a 640×480 screen by installing a “3dfx Voodoo3 Video Card” in case I need to install any drivers (Intel 815E Integrated).
I noticed (using this Card) that my monitor is set at 85MHz (checkmarked box) and HIDE RESOLUTIONS THIS MONITOR CANNOT USE is also checked.
QUESTION:
How can I get this “NEC MultiSync 3FGe” monitor to work while plugged into the Onboard Video Port . . . since I need the “3dfx Card” for another PC? (Thank You)
