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.
Guest rlp Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Re: re-installed XP Pro SP@ can't get monitor resolution 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.

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. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for Windows Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Any help?- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - 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
