Upgraded 98 to xp, causes only 4 bit color and only lowest screen resolution

[Jim Kroger]

Hello. Have a Compaq Presario 5610 and upgraded from 98 to xp. The
screen suddenly only has 4 bit color and the lowest possible
resolution. It is
not useable. Compuater has standard AGP 2x rage graphics card. Display
control panel said something I did not understand about 2 monitors
when I tried to set colors and resolution. All options were grayed
out, could not change them.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Go to the manufacturers website and get the latest Windows XP video
drivers.
If the video card came with the computer go to Compaq.
While at Compaq, you may need to get other Windows XP drivers.
