Graphics Question
This is typical of the situation where the monitor is not being detected by
plug-n-play. Go to start, control panel, display properties, advanced, monitor and see if you can change the monitor to the one attached. May have to look in SoftPaqs for monitor update patch. If brave or knowledgeable, can select a monitor with properties similar to one attached from the selections if can't find right one. I assume you tried to change the color depth after adding memory - may have just defaulted to the safe mode. MAY BE that installed memory is not recognized, in which case there is not enough to support more color depth. If the right monitor is recognized but can't increase colors, it's a memory problem.

Can a graphics card just partly go bad?..Perhaps you read my last posting about the colors on my monitor going back to 16 colors after I added memory in my Compaq 5000...Since it`s working at all should I assume the graphics card is still ok?...Maybe remove the card and re-install it and reload the drivers?..I tried reloading a driver for the computer but would there be a driver for the card also?..Thank you |
