my monitor is screwed up. :( (not actually monitor..its my computer)

yeah..i think i'll buy a new one, and maybe my 'rents will go splits if i let em have it for thier computer, and i take the one that hooked to this.

 

I have had a similar problem:
I Got a New DELL not so long ago and i reformatted the hard drive, And did everything as usual. When i turned on my computer The screen was huge the resolution is 640 by 480 pixels and the slider on the that normally Changes the resolution wont move at all so the screen is to big and everything is jammed onto my 17" monitor. I read a Tutorial on M$'s site and it said i had to click the advanced tab and select the correct monitor type but for some reason the Properties button under the Monitor tab in the Display properties thing is non accessable. It is kinda faded and i can't click it. I Have no idea what went wrong or how to fix it. could someone help?.

 

Did you install the graphics drivers? maybe there is a partition on your hard drive with these on.. (Dell somtimes do that) or on another CD...

 

That is probably it
thanks for the help

 

No Problem : )

 

I thought I had the problem solved but I guess I was wrong:
I went to look for a CD that had something to to with video Card Drivers in the box with all the rest f the CD's that came with my computer, But I couldnt find anything. Does Anybody know whta Disc I should have to install a video card driver for a DELL computer ?

 

It depends on the graphics card that came with the Dell computer? What is the model number of the Dell computer and ill try and find out for you.... : )

 

Good Question
Where exactly do I find the model number ?

Would I Be able to get program like this off of a P2P prgram is I can't find the disc ?

 

They might have the model number printed on sticker on the case... Usually on the rear...

 

Yeah when it starts up it says DELL Dimnesion 3000 Series

 

You could try downloading this driver...

http://drivers.soft32.com/driver/download-INTEL_VGA_Extreme_Graphics-23777.html

I looked on Dells website for the dimension 3000 and it seems to use the Intel Extreem graphics 2.... Their may be diferant versions of this driver though?? But worth a shot : )

 

Thanks Alot it works Great !
I can finally type without having to scroll over to see what I am doing

 

Ok I Got One More Problem.
1. Now I Need And Soundcard Driver, Can I Just Get One Of The Off The DELL Site Too?
Or Is There A CD That Goes With That, I Have A CD That Came With My Computer But I Cant Seem To Get It To Work So I Dunno What To Do

2. Does anyone else here have a DELL computer that they have a sound Card Driver for? if you please could you tell me the name is sucks not having sound on my computer

 

Ahh Good glad you got your graphics working now : ) As for your sound.... What is the CD you have got? What has it got on the front of the disc? Could you post a pic of it?

 

Ive just looked on Dells site and found the drivers section....

Here is the drivers for the dimension 3000 series.....

http://support.dell.com/support/dow...en&s=dhs&SystemID=DIM_CEL_3000&os=WW1&osl=EN#

Click "Audio Drivers" and try them.....

 

Thanks for the help but the site but the audio driver didnt work.
I have search everywheres, and can't seem to find on.
Guess I'll keep looking for one

And By the way i dunno exaclty how to get a picture of this CD on the forums but Its says SoundBlaster 16 Software across the top

 

If it says "sounblaster 16" then the drivers must be on that disc.... Install them ones...

 

No Nevermind I got One anyways
the one that recommended to me earlier worked I just had to restart my computer lol
Thanks Alot. My Comp is finally back to normal !
