So my train of thought is that a format doesn't delete everything... We all know how easy it is to unformat, and uses previous info from the HD....

But being an onboard adapter I still suspect the BIOS

Jan I agree the BIOS may have a role here but it is simply an on or off. Either the onboard graphics are switched on or not. If Beanie doesnt come right in the next day or two I suggest she tells her friend that it will cost her in the region of £20 to fix and she goes out and buys a new graphics card. A cheapie can be gotten for less than £20. Getting the screen res to work will be simple IF Beanie has the correct drivers for the existing card but obviously she doesnt. If she cant find out what chipset the card uses then she may as well either buy a new card. However Beanie ahve you thought of asking around at work - maybe someone will ahve a cheapie 4 or 8 meg card that is useless to them now and that they dont want?
