'Ello all. I just got over some major BSOD issues, which ended in a complete reinstall of XP Pro. I installed Service Pack 2, rebooted...and found my screen set to 800 X 600 with a 4-bit color depth. I've looked around to see if anyone has had the same problem, but haven't found much. I know that this machine has integrated graphics, but SP2 is definitely futzing with the graphics adapter: the VGA driver doesn't appear to be installed, and Windows can't find the file to install it. Any ideas?

P.S: Sorry if my writing's a bit sloppy...just waking up here. :)

Go to the motherboard manufacturers site and download the driver.
