Re: XP HOME REINSTALL...NOW UNABLE TO CHANGE DISPLAY SETTINGS

John

Do you have a motherboard driver CD?.. have you been to the motherboard
manufacturer website to get the latest drivers for your integrated
peripheral devices?..

Now maybe a good time to do this.. if you PC is a major brand type, HP,
Compaq, IBM, MDG etc, go to their site.. if it is a clone type, try this
program to determine what is in your computer..

'Everest Home' if downloaded and run, will tell you all about your
computer.. it has been dropped by the company that authored it, but is still
available from here..
