I Can't Change My Resolution.

hello.

i know it's probably a trivial problem but it's been killing me for days. i recently purchased and installed a new hard drive. ever since my display has remained at 16 colors and 640x480 resolution. i've tried everything i can think of and i simply cannot find any way of getting all of the colour options back.

i've got a PC Chips M810LR motherboard with on board everything. the display adapter comes up as "Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)" and after using aida i found something under the "Physical Devices" section called "SiS 300 Integrated Video Adapter". also, in the motherboard/chipset section it says that i may have a problem because AGP is disabled.

how can i go about rectifying all of this?

thanx.

planty.
 
It's quick fix...you just need to re-install the drivers, which version of windows do you have? If you have the original disk that came with the motherboard or system, just pop it in the cd drive when it auto runs choose the option to install the vga drivers. if this doesn't clean up your problem, reboot and hold down the del key. this will bring you into the bios screen, don't fiddle here but find the agp option and switch it to enable then save the change and exit. Important if you go into the bios and are not sure of what you are doing exit without saving and get further help.
 
i'm running windows 98SE. someone built the computer for us and didn't bother giving us disks with all the software on and the stuff i need isn't on the windows 98SE CD as far as i can see.

i got told to try that thing in bios but couldn't find anything that just said "AGP enabled" or anything like that. it's american megatrends inc. bios if anyone knows how to work it.
