| | W#indows XP sp2 re-install I have an older Dell PC and have re-installed Windows XP on it three times. The OS seems to work fine each time but it gives me no way to adjust the resolution. I go into adjust screen resolution and it wont let me adjust anything, the slide bar, in advanced, and under settings. I can't change anything even trying to load the software for the monitor fails??? Any help? |

You need to go to Dell's web site and download the latest drivers for your video adapter. http://support.dell.com/support/down...=us&l=en&s=gen While you're there, you might want to download the latest drivers for the other hardware devices on your system. Good luck Nepatsfan |
