All of a sudden my windows xp with an Asus MB Pap800 deluxe and a Asus
V9520/TD GeForce FX5200 comes up with 4 bits and cannot be changed.

I never had such ything in many years of computing.

What can I do?

Hi Karl,
You can try to fix this problem by removing the vid card using
your device manager, rebooting, and let Windows install your device
and drivers again. Then, if you need to update drivers, be sure to get
them from the manufacturer's website. If this doesn't work, contact
the manufacturer of your system and the video card directly. Actually,
come to think of it, we suggest that you contact them first before
doing anything else.
