Prob: Can't Change Screen Res

    This a problem I've had for ages on my old PC. I got a shop to format & reinstall Win 98SE as I was planning to sell it off. When I got it back I noticed that the screen resolution couldn't be changed from 640x480 (you can't even move the arrow to 800x600 etc.)
    The feking shop closed down shortly after so didn't have the chance to get them to sort it out. I'm after selling the PC to a friend now after forgetting the PC had this problem.

    I remember trying to install the last drivers for the GFX card (Voodoo 3 2000), but the bloody thing wouldn't install due to some crap about an incorrect language or something. Sorry if that's all a bit vague but it was ages ago I tried to fix it. I've long since lost the driver files.

    Is there a simple fix for this? Bit out of practice on the ol' PC fixing front :)
    thanks

    You'll just need to find out exactly what kind of GFX card it is, and download the correct drivers from the Manufacturer's site.

    You'll pickup the drivers here although as stated you'll need to pick the drivers specific to your card as stated.
