display problem (display adaptor & monitor not seen in device mana

[Guest]

I reinstalled my winows 2000 professional (after formate the hard drive). ,
only 16 color(4 bits) is available in the display setting of control panel
.. In addition, the display adaptor and monitor nodes are not shown in the
device manager tree. I initially try to install a driver( Intel® 845 G\GL\GV
Chipset Graphics Driver); but I got a software error say cannot install the
driver on current driver. Then I install different driver (ATI 32MB Radeon
7500). After it run through the setup; the display does not improved. Can
you give a help to solve the display problem?

You need to install chipset and other drivers specific to your mobo/sys.
Usually obtained from the origonal cd's or direct from mobo/sys web sites.
Cannot help any further unless you supply details of either your sys/mobo
Do NOT install drivers from winupdate.

Can you tell me how to find the info about my "sys/mobo"?
This is a Dell optiplex GX260 and the service contract is expired. My
original CD cannot be located. My vidio card is ATI 32MB Radeon. Based on
Dell's service tag#, Dell's support web page lists 4 video drives including:
ATI 32MB Radeon 7500
ATI Radeon VE
CyberLink 4.0.13x
Intel 845 G/GL Integrated Video (this one works for my other GX260 but
cannot be installed in this desktop)

Do you know which one I need to install. or is it possible that I need to
install the "Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility"?
appreciate your help

If you no longer have origonal installation cd, you need *first* to install
the mobo chipset drivers, these are not the same as graphics chipset
drivers. The intel ones you mention are likely to be a graphics chipset
driver for an onboard graphics, and you state you have an ATI card.

As your graphics is an ATI *card* either the Radeon 7500 driver or direct
from ATI

PS I thought Dell support, using TAG # gave a precise sys config.

Based on my service tage #, Dell's support web page show only one "chippset"
available for download. Is this chipset what I need to install for a
proper display?
