Yip.. the monitor plugged directly into the motherboard....
Yes it worked before Norton, then Norton was taken off to install BT Broadband, and that is when things all went a bit belly up. That is why I decided on a format and clean install... but after the clean install the icons were really big... so when I checked the display, it wouldn't let me change the resolution and was only in 16 colour or black and white....
I have Googled it, and this seems to be a common problem, but I cannot seem to find a common solution....
In the mean time I have handed the pc back..... to be worked on later. I thought that maybe if she installs BT BB now then she could possibly get drivers directly from Microsoft... or am I too optimistic there?
I got your PM... thank you very much! If in English I would love to have it, but would it cure my illness doctor?
Beanie, it is doubful that MS will have the drivers on their website. It is more likely she will ahve to get them off the card manufacturers website. However here is another way for you to get the relevant info. Download one of the hardware diagnosis packages of the net and run it. It should give you a list of what hardware is installed on the pc. From that info you should be able to find drivers for the card. One such program - IIRC - is SiSoft Sandra. Idf I remember correctly that should do the trick. Another way of doing it would be to go to http://www.driverguide.com and snif around there with the make and model of the PC - or the card info if Sandra works for you.
If that doesnt work come back to me........................
