Jan FDISK wont help - it has nothing to do with the partitioning of the drive. This is simply a problem with getting the correct drivers for the graphics card. Ditto BIOS settings. Beanie needs to determine what type of card or chipset is being used and then take it from there. The OS isnt reporting the corect chipset so she will need to either physically read it off the chips on the bhoard or find some other way of doing it. However the BIOS may ahve a setting to enable / disable the on board graphics and this may need to be set to enable to allow Windows to detect the card.
Beanie here is a link for you to look at.
Advent PC's
Another thought, when you boot the PC Beanie deos it not tell you what card it is using on the very first screen that comes up?
Beanie if worst comes to worst look on eBay and find a second hand PCI graphics card with driver disk. Slap that into the PC and load the drivers - you may need to disable the onboard graphics in BIOS. Pity you live in the gamadoolas!
Pics - as I said I am grasping at straws..... A FDISKshould destroy any previous info... Not to worry, I am not going to suggest a low level format as the next step.... ( I wonder if you can still do them...)
It is strange that window$ sees the card but doesn't load the drivers for it....
