42984 2002-04-10 03:43:00 I have just installed Windows ME (from WIN 98) but cannot change screen resolution above 640 x 480 (could do it with WIN 98). Have been through the Help files but no help there. Guest (0)

42986 2002-04-10 04:54:00 Sounds silly but have you installed the drivers for the videocard? If it needs drivers check here, My Computer (yours, not mine), right click and select properties and then Device Manager, any yellow ? or ! showing, then drivers are missing.
If I remember right the process for chaning the screen res is the same in both 98 and ME.
Check your video card drivers are installed first off and that no problems are showing in Device Manager.
