    Display Help!!

    Hey guy's.

    Ok on this crappy pc i've been given the joyous job of rebuilding there's this Gateway Vx700 Monitor.
    Anyways i download the driver from gateway.com supposedly it installed but i only get the choice of running 16bit color or 8 bit color and this is annoying!

    Ohh it's running 98se!

    Gateway suck!

    later

    1) I thought it was a Gateway
    2) I need to know the exact model number so I know what video card we're dealing with...I don't think the monitor is very relevant to this problem...

    Er....don't think you can blame windows for that one big guy...

    And where was the OS CD young man ... most common video drivers are already on it ready to install, have had no problems with a Fujitsu ICL 17 something or rather, each install recognises it through the vid card.... standard card mind you....

    Beaker's mad, beaker's mad ... just don't mention the Dockers start to the year or he'lkl go ballistic
