Well that is the thing... I have started from scratch a few times..
I have reformatted and reinstalled at least 3 times, and nothing worked.
Now.. can you tell me, if I had to install say win2000, would the pc pick up the drivers then??
Beanie it might and it might not. Actually getting the screen res to work is a doddle if you can just find out what card the PC has. Win2K may be better equipped in terms of drivers so by installing it you may get it sorted out. However if it deosnt have the drivers what then?
Now the web site that I gave you listed what graphics cards the advent PC's had in them. From that info - or by using SiSoft Sandra - you can look around on the net for the correct drivers. When you get them you can simply install them and your screen res should be all peachy again.
Now tell me what processor does that PC have? Is it a PIII or a P4? And what speed does it run at? Any idea of what memory and hard drive? This is simply so that I can go look at the Advent PC specs to see what graphics card it might have.
