If you cannot contribute positively to someones obvious request for help, then keep your trap shut, eh? =) Odds are, Sky, you are missing a graphics driver that can handle a higher resolution. Assuming you have not changed your monitor for another, you ought to be able to go out to the net and download a current video card driver from the manufactuer of the card. Install it and you troubles should go away... | |
i know how much a pain in the butt graphic cards are..
if you dont have the drivers that came with your card, then yes, goto the manufacuters site and download the latest drivers... altho using win95 can be a pain, since in itself windows is a virus, in my opinion.. if all else fails, i suggest switching to a more stable, updated OS, if your going for a classic windows system, then get 98 or 98se i myself run 5 systems 2 with win2k pro, and 3 with slackware linux. my win2k systems autoinstalls my drivers.. altho they arent the correct ones, but i can get the updates easily just by doing a windows update or going to the cards site and getting the drivers.. its all up to how you want to handle the situation! if you need help in finding drivers, i know of a few very good sites for locating drivers... | |
