My screen resolution is stuck on 640 X 480 and 16 colors i have a Standard PCI Video Adapter (VGA) installed but cant seem to find the problem

please help if you can fix my problem post it or e-mail me

sounds like you need to reload your video drivers.

have you checked the Device Manager?

also try this scan & post back the results in order to ID your video device:

i cant run that scan because the computer with the problem does not have an internet connection
is there any other way i can get u the ID

My Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Sound

Or perhaps you know the details of: Standard PCI Video Adapter (VGA)

i dont known what you mean by sound i looked in there but didn't find anything
my video card has this written on it
s3 Trio 3D Onboard NDC3BB86C3659850C4651.00

Video Adapter - Standard PCI Graphics adapter (VGA)

Monitor - HWP-D5259A
also video
AC'97 Driver for Intell(r) 82801AA Controller

In XP there is a tab for "Sound, video & game controlers" (sorry my ME skills are meager )

Also there is Display Adapter?

But you seem to have narrowed it down with: s3 Trio 3D Onboard NDC3BB86C3659850C4651.00

There are several drivers on this site but only one for ME & onboard:

S3Trio 3D Onboard driver W9X_650.ZIP [more] Windows ME Sep 25, 2001

You will find it about halfway down the list. To download you can use the

username: drivers
password: all

drivers

It didn't work
do you think i should try just getting a new video card or do you think that may be too pricey at the moment

Did this computer ever work the way you want it to? In other words did this problem just happen?

Are you unable to adjust the resolution via the Control Panel?

What about thru the Device Manager?

What about from the Run box type in: dxdiag

Check the Display tab.
