Hi.
My windows XP was giving me fatal errors upon loading, (I could never get
past a frozen screen). So I decided to re-install it. I have a Dell PC,
and I used the disk that came with the machine. Everything looks fine,
except that when I start Windows, I can only get the lowest resolution. I
followed the directions in help, (go to control panel, display, et cetera)
but the directions mention that on monitor type I must clcik on the
"properties" tab. In my machine, the tab is not clickable. I went also
to the My System dialog, and tried to see what the drivers for the system
are. I noticed that there are some conflicts, including one for the video
card (or something of the sort. I am going from memory as I am typing
this at work). I tried to get a proper driver, but neither the Windows XP
cd nor the drivers and diagnostic cd that came with the computer seem to
have them. Any suggestions?
Many thanks
