my computer is a dell dimension 2400 and i recently upgraded to vista home basic. ever since my screen resolution has been stuck on 640 by 480 pixels. This really annoys me... any help ???
According to what I could find, the computer you have has a integrated video card and no agp slot (to upgrade). The video card shares main memory with the computer (and some of the dells 2400 only came out with 256mb of system memory). Vista even the basic version require at least midlevel video cards to work properly. Maybe you can find better drivers for your dell built-in graphics card. quote from a 2004 review on dell 2400

i found a PCI graphics card but it did not work on vista... Does anyone know a good graphics card to get that works on vista? i can only go up to around £50 though.
i think you are going to be out of luck with that pc. you might be better off saving up to buy & build a better pc.
