display settings in windows 2000 properties wont change

[Guest]

Hi! My coumpter crashed due to a virus and I used the robot discs from my
other emachine to reformat. The computer was running windows second now it
has windows 2000. The problem im having is that my display is stuck at 640 x
480 pixels with 16 color. When I go into properties to try and change this
their are no other options and it wont let me move the bar to change the
display settings. Im not sure if this is a drivers problem or what. Any
suggestions. Because settings arent right on my monitor i cant run alot of
programs .

You need to identify exactly what graphics card is in your PC and
download the correct drivers for it.
