We know what you meant, but though I might call it that just for fun
from now on.<br>
<blockquote type="cite">that will not alow resolutions above 1024*768.<br>

What is the highest mode that is listed when you do that?<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Before I installed the drivers it worked</blockquote>
At what resolution and colour depth was it running?<br>
<blockquote type="cite">but it didn;t refresh properly (obviously). <br>
</blockquote>
Which drivers did you install? Detonators?<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Any idea why? <br>
</blockquote>
My top five would be:<br>
<br>
1. Incorrect monitor profile such that the card things the display
panel or CRT can't go higher.<br>
2. Have you got all the mainboard drivers / chipset drivers installed
and up to date?<br>
3. Not quite a perfect match - i.e. not the right driver; there could
be something more specific.<br>
4. Faulty video memory or video card - if so, when did you last see
this card working or is it new?<br>
5. Actually, I've run out already. If the hardware is not faulty, then
9 times out of 10 you will have a driver that is close, but not the
correct one.<br>
