Hi,
What display adapter is currently in use? Click start and type msinfo32,
then hit <enter>. In the left column, expand the components branch and click
on display. From the right column, post back with the name of the display
adapter.\
It may be the that you need a more powerful card, and this would involve
purchasing and physically installing one. It could also be possible that you
just need an appropriate driver to support the existing one.
