Solve : windows 98 resolution problems? |
|
Answer» hi there....i am pretty new to the computer field therefor not too computer smart but i am having a problem changing my resolution on my computer. It was given to me and the color is way off and i can't play a lot of the games i played on my old computer because the games don't fit on the screen. I am running windows 98. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you(anyone) in advanceYou need to install videocard drivers. thanks for the help...one more question...is that something i have to buy and install? again thank you...pulling my hair out here...lol Drivers are free, all you need to do is determine the type of videocard you have installed. This can be done by undertaking one of the following actions:
Does the device manager report any errors? If you have no drivers installed, there will be an 'unknown device' in the list. Perhaps more than one.i am downloading the everest thingy now...lol...told you i wasn't very computer smart...however i did go to device manager and did not see any unknown DEVICES thank you againi downloaded the everest thing and the only thing i could see that had to do with video was it said...Device Description Device Type S3 Trio64 V2/DX/GX (86c775/86c785) Video Adapter is this what you mean?i ran a scan and it said that my video card driver was good....any other suggestions...i went into dispay and tried to change it that way...but it says you have to restart and every time i restart it goes back to the way it was..... The S3 Trio64 is your videocard. You should be able to find drivers here or here. For the latter, log in with drivers as a username and all as password. When you are looking for drivers, try either S3 Trio64 or S3 Trio64 V2/DX/GX Quote ...S3 Trio64 V2/DX/GX (86c775/86c785)... S3 was very popular until they went out of business. The only thing S3 has reference to is a utility "Wins3id.exe' which identifies the S3 chipset. 86C775/785 is the key. It might also be good to know if your graphics card is AGP or PCI, drivers may be different. it says AGP/PCI...does that make any difference...and i went to the sight and it gave me a list of 83 of them...how do I know which one to install....gesh I feel like such an idot...lol...thanks for all the help you are giving me...it is much appreciatedWhat resolution are you running at the moment?I'm still not sure if your problem is driver related.
