I can't get a screen resolution higher than 640 by 480 pixels on my computer, and the total number of colors is 16.
Please help!

Check to make sure you have the most current drivers installed.

I believe that i can help you! i have had this exact problem after installing winME, it didnt detect anything: sound card, video card, modem.

All you need to do to fix this problem is find the driver CD or files for your video card and install them. I do not have any info on fixing this without the CD since i have no experience with it, only the CD. Good Luck!

I had the same problem when i re-formatted. Just go to 'control panel/system/device manager/monitor and update driver (from your driver CD or downloaded up to date driver.

Right click on My Computer, go to properties, device manager, expand the + beside display adapters (which means graphics cards), click on the driver listed, go to properties (bottom left), find the driver tab, click update driver, select specify the location of the driver, click on display a list of drivers in a specific location, click next, click have disk, and point Windows to the new drivers for your card and let it update. Reboot and see how it is. If you are still in trouble, download the latest driver from your card manufacturer and repeat the update. Also download the latest VIA 4 in 1 chipset drivers from here
http://www.viatech.com/jsp/en/dr/driver.jsp or, if you have an Intel chipset, download an updated ATA storage driver from http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/driver.htm

To find out which you have, go back to device manager and expand the + beside "system devices", scroll down and if there is a whole load of VIA stuff at the bottom then that's what you have.
