Hi, recently my ATI radeon 9800 pro died, and I am being sent a replacement card. But in the meantime, i enabled onboard so i dont see distortion. I am using this onboard card: Intel 82865G Graphics Controller Ok, the higest it allowes me to go is 256 colors, and *768 resolution, when it really does go higher, but i cant set it higher. it doesnt have the drivers installed, when ive tired updating them, and it always sayins error, and its never compadable with windows screen. id like to use 32 bit color so i can play games and make fun of how slow it is. ive gotten the drivers off the dell cd and i also tried the intel site and all of them dont install, and it says error during install for unknown reason. Intel P4 - 2.6Ghz HT 1.5GB DDR RAM 400mhz ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 120GB ATA 7200HD Sound Blaster X-Fi Logitech x-530 5.1

Dark29delx, SWAG, do you still have the old unused drivers on your machine? Perhaps they don't like each other? Maybe put the old on some sort of removable media for easy retrieval and get them off? HTH. Ed in Texas.

Regarding what Ed in Texas has said, here's a driver cleaner that will get rid of the remnants of Ati drivers. It's freeware as well... http://www.drivercleaner.net/professional.html Quote: Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!

Ok, i EXTREMLY uninstalled any sign of ati drivers now. I tryed to install the intel video "accelrator" and it still says the same error after it trys to install "An unknown error occured while installing Setup will exit." It says this in the middle of the install. Intel P4 - 2.6Ghz HT 1.5GB DDR RAM 400mhz ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 120GB ATA 7200HD Sound Blaster X-Fi Logitech x-530 5.1
