Win2K not detecting video card...

B

barcaroller

I have a Dell laptop that I recently upgraded from Windows ME to Windows
2000. Ever since the upgrade, my screen shows only 16 colours. Upon
further investigation, I noticed that Windows 2000 no longer see the
graphics card at all (see the System Information output below) and has
switched to VGA mode.

Question is: how do I get Windows 2000 to see my graphics card?

:
|I have a Dell laptop that I recently upgraded from Windows ME to Windows
| 2000. Ever since the upgrade, my screen shows only 16 colours. Upon
| further investigation, I noticed that Windows 2000 no longer see the
| graphics card at all (see the System Information output below) and has
| switched to VGA mode.
|
| Question is: how do I get Windows 2000 to see my graphics card?
