I recently recieved this computer and everything else with it from my parents after I got back from basic training. I reformatted the computer to return it back to the way it was when I first got it. After doing so I couldn't change the display settings above 640 x 480. I've downloaded the driver off of dell.com and I've been following the instructions word for word but it won't let me make the "upgrade monitor" selection. As a matter of fact there isn't even an upgrade monitor selection to choose. I have windows XP and I just need someone who might know what to do to get back to me ASAP. Thanx.
Thanks for the information, it works fine now. I downloaded the display driver and didn't even think of downloading the video driver to fix the screen. Thanks a lot.

MadSouth230,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
In order to get the colors above 640x480 you will need to install the video card drivers into the system.
