Booya...I got it ..I changed the Hardware Acceleration to Full and everything is fine now...yay!!!!! Now the comp can go all the way up to 1600x1200...Thanks for the help guys.
Armbut
I just thought of something...would Hardware Acceleration have anything to do with this?
yeah, i disabled the onboard...well...i clicked "Remove". "Disable" isn't an option in Win98...
lol jafo... ok the Card is a Texas Instruments TVP3026 and under Device Manager, the onboard chip is labeled "S3 ViRGE-DX/GX PCI (375/385).
It's detecting the network card (10/100 ethernet) in port 1...it detects the graphics cart is just the resolution/color level
I have an Apple 2c ..... we have a commodore 64 sitting in the corner of my bedroom.....
Fuzzy Logic: I've already done that...but to no prevail... yrag: The card was in Slot 3 in the beginning. I just tried it in slot 2 and I'm only getting 640x480 with 16 colors as an option. Same thing in slot 1...
OK...i took out the PCI video and booted...and im right back where i started when i posted this...
ok i downloaded a bios flash program and i ran it in DOS mode but unfortunately it comes up "SYSTEM BIOS DOES NOT HAVE FLASH SUPPORT"......................great...
no, no jumper there is no Shared Memory option in BIOS i dont know what happens yet if i pull out the PCI...hold on as soon as i finish this BIOS flash I'll try it, and there is NO AGP slot. Just 3 ISAs and 3 PCIs.
here goes: to Jafo, i never said i was an expert to I.R. Braniac, both drivers by MS and to BoXXi, i dont think so but yrag said that it was a 19" earlier
oookkk...that didn't quite come out right
I think your mum's expert needs an expert.[/quote] I never said I was an expert...I'm still learning...I'm only 14... [quote]hmmmm...MS driver or manufacturer?[/quote] both Display Adapter and Monitor drivers by MS [quote]I'm pretty sure that a Dell M991 is a 19" monitor, could this be part of the problem? Yeah
it knows what monitor is hooked up, under Device Manager it is called "Dell M991" instead of "Default Monitor"
this would be a lot easier if we were all in an IM conference instead of just a forum...quicker response times anyway...oh well
Maybe a bios flash? ill try that give me a second
nope, no jumper........
okay i disabled the onboard video thru device manager and now thru the dropdown for Colors i only get 16 colors (before, on the expansion card i would either get 2 or 16 and on the onboard i would get 16, 256, or high) and the resolution stays at 640x480, i cannot move the button to 800x600 or 1024x768 because they dont even show up. its locked at the lowest...im going to look for that jumper now...
I don't currently have a copy of Win2k but I can probably get one... I'll try the Device Manager part and then after a reboot i'm experiencing the same problems ill look for a jumper, then if all that fails ill tell ya.
ok i went into BIOS. there are no options for Video so idk....i know there's an integrated graphics chip because there was no expansion card...
good idea...im gonna do that right now.
Hey.....I'm 85 and I do it.... ummmmm...ooooooooookkkkkkk...did you mean your monitor is set at 85 or you are 85 and you do "it"........oh nevermind
I've already tried 6 different PCI graphics cards from my stash in the basement (I have a small repair business-thingy going so I have prettymuch everything I need...). Nothing is working. I found the latest drivers for all of the graphics cards and I'm still having the same problems.
Okay, first off my mom got a refurbished computer from her friend this week and she wanted me to fix it up for her. I agreed, of course, and when I took my first look at it my thoughts were "OH MY GOD!". It is an HLC Pentium machine with a P 133MHz processor, 64MB of EDO RAM (I upgraded it to 128MB thankfully), 10 GB Hard Drive (I added a second 20GB for 30GB total storage, good enough for her anyway), a CD-ROM 4x drive and Floppy. As I said earlier, I added more system memory, and a second hard
I am who I say I am. My name is Derek, I am * years old. I live in Marietta, OH (I know my teachers would be yelling at me right now for giving out personal information but I don't think that's enough to identify myself by). I'm a computer geek (not a wannabe. I AM!). To prove that, most of the people in my city ask me to fix their computers. Once, I told someone that they had a fried CPU. They didn't know what a CPU was. I said it was the Central Processing Unit, or brain of their comput
