Install of XP (any service pack) will only place a limited video car

driver. Once you have finished installing the XP, you need to install

the most recently drivers for all your PC components

 

1) Motherboard chipset drivers

2) Original video card drivers

3) Network adapters

4) Sound drivers

5) Monitor drivers.

I had been to Dells website and downloaded a couple of video drivers but they

still won't give me the option of 1440X900 just a multitude of others. They

are all listed as recommended. How do you determine which one is correct?

Thanks.

Use a system inventory program to see what video card you have. If your

video is integrated (on the motherboard), also look at the motherboard

type. This will tell you the correct video driver to download from Dell. If

you aren't getting the right resolution, you haven't installed the correct

drivers.

It seem that you still have a problems with drivers. Locate the

correct chipset drviers for your motherboard in the Dell. Once these

are installed, thay should provide you with an AGP slot driver. Once

this slot driver is correctly installed, the display device (aka video

card) should be detected and you will then be able to install the

video drivers
