Dell Dimension b110 or 1100 Video card problem help pls
I know this computer is old but I'd like to use it for a very old game. I recently reformatted it and reinstalled windows xp. Before downloading the video card drviers I was able to plug my TV into the computer through the VGA port (same as monitor i believe) and use my TV as my monitor. As soon as I updated my video card drivers I could not use the TV as my monitor anymore. After plugging it into a regular monitor it works but when I go into the video card configuration it mentions nothing about configuring the video card to be used on a TV. The video card is still stock. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Sirs;
I have attempted to change my resolution but it will not incress. I installed Windows XP again and lost the video and audio drivers. I have a Dell 1100/B110 but the drivers are no longer on your web site. Can you send me the drivers or links for the Audio and Video please?

Thank you for you input. I have fixed the problem though. What I did was attach a regular dell monitor to the computer, delete the video card from device manager, turned off the computer attached the HDTV to the VGA port on the computer, restarted the computer and reinstalled the video card. Has been working well for the past two days.

Hi DellFlorida84,
Once the graphics card drivers are updated the resolution of the screen usually changes. Changing the resolution to high/low might fix this problem. Perform the steps below to change the resolution of the screen with Windows XP:
1. Right click on the Desktop and select Properties
2. When the Display Properties window comes up, select the Settings tab.
3. Look for the Screen resolution bar and change it to the desired resolution. Keep in mind that a higher resolution will imply more detail and smoother edges, but the appearance of the desktop may change depending on the type of monitor owned.
4. After selecting the desired resolution, click Apply button and expect the resolution to change immediately or after restarting (if selected).
5. Windows may ask if you want to keep the changes. Select ‘yes’ then plug in the TV. If you get the video on the TV screen, keep the resolution else try a different screen resolution.
For detailed description on changing screen resolution follow this link: support.dell.com/.../document
Post back if you need any further help.
