Trying to change the display type of a NT4 machine. When clicking on "change" under the "Display Type" tab resulted in an error message, "The drivers were not successfully installed. You may not have the required privileges to install a new driver".Although I log in as the administrator. Click on "Detect" resulted in the same message. Thank you very much for your help.

Sometimes nt4 may not detect correctly the video card or the video driver.

Make sure you have the latest driver in a temporary folder and you are logged in as admin.

Start from Display Properties - Settings -
Display Type - Change - Have disk and point to
the right video driver.

When you are done restart the pc to be sure the system uses the updated settings.

Make sure CMOS does not have any virus checker or
disk cache enabled.
