| 384597 | 2005-08-29 09:46:00 | download everest,and this wil tell you what graphics card you have, then we can find the right drivers for it. | Prescott (11) | ||
| 384598 | 2005-08-29 09:51:00 | A quick google shows you have posted the model number of your monitor not the system itself As Prescott has said run Everest from http://www.lavalys.com/ This will identify your graphics chip Or post the number on your box not the monitor |

| 384600 | 2005-08-30 03:31:00 | . o (It's good to be back!) Hey boohsv, The problem you're facing is that the driver being used is the standard vga driver which is only used when the OS does not recognise your video card and does not have a sufficient driver for it. It is just sufficient enough to display standard size and colour. You can try finding the drivers from Dell's website for your computer, or if you know who the manufacturer of the card is, you could try them for the driver. A program like SiSoft Sandra maybe capable of letting you know what type of Video card you have, or when you restart the computer, the BIOS information screen (if not covered by Dells splash screen) may produce a string that will identify the graphics card you're using. Hope you get this problem sorted. KK |

It's always better to keep it to one post per problem, keeps the forum clean and you have a better chance of having your problem solved quickly |

| 384603 | 2005-08-30 04:39:00 | Ok,ive run Everest,but am unsure where to look for the information that you need. Sorry in advance for being abit slow or dumb when it comes to computer. | boohsv (8804) | ||
| 384604 | 2005-08-30 05:00:00 | I have merged the two threads into one now. There is no need to duplicate your threads as it will not get you help any faster. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 384605 | 2005-08-30 05:30:00 | Opening Everest, click on "Display" , then " GPU" and post back what it says next to "Video Adaptor". | pheonix (36) | ||
