I think you need to find out what video card you have and install the drivers for it.
I have recently upgraded to Windoes ME & sice then the monitor will not shift off of 16 Colours & 480 x 600 screen size. I have tried to reinstall the driver but cannot find it... Simple to fix no doubt but cannot seem to get olver this one
