Display error -problem with settings

Jeff,

Video adapter is identified as Diamond Stealth III 16MB S540 Graphic Card.
This is the same description as has been on the machine since it was
acquired. i assume it is the card that came in the computer when it was
built. Again this machine with this video card worked for several months
until I switched monitors from an Envision 7410 LCD to a Envision 710 CRT.
the video card has not been changed.

Try removing the video display adapter driver in safe mode and re-booting
and allow Windows to install the default driver. Check operation with the
default driver, then install the correct adapter driver.

Jeff,

Went into Safe Mode and removed video adapter from device manager and took
all the video adapter programs out of add/remove programs. Rebooted and
system installed default PCI VGA driver. This displays in 640x480 16 color
mode, which doesn't tell me much because that is the same mode the system has
been defaulting to with the problem. It just won't go to anything higher.

I then had the system re-install the driver for the adapter in the system
and am back to where I started from with the error message and the system
display stuck in 640x480 mode.

640x480x16 with the standard VGA adapter is correct. The point of that part
of the process is to get you back to a known starting point, not to resolve
the issue.

It seems that your hardware driver needs a more complex installation
procedure.

Repeat the steps to get back to the standard VGA adapter, then follow the
process Brian has described and see if the installation works better that
way.
