Computer Question

[mottlee]

I have been given a computer with a Diamond Viper V770/Viper770 Ultra Vid card I can not get the Rez higher than 640X480, I am not a wiz but I can not figure it out! and on a 17" screen is a real pain!

Seems like it should at least offer 770 x something... Hmm, is 770 = sqrt ( 640 ^2 + 480 ^2 )? Hmm, no 800.

Hmm, looks like it is supposed to go up to 2048 x 1536.

Got latest drivers?

You need to make sure the correct driver is installed for the card. Then, make sure you have the right monitor specified. Sometimes, if it's not a PNP monitor, it will do something stupid like calling it a generic VGA monitor. So, check those out first.

My monitor is not listed (Packard Bell) and I can not connect to the Diamond site, suffering like PBW http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Will keep trying to get it thanks all

Diamond is IIRC out of buisness. Go to Nvidia's site and download the drivers there- they still have them for TNT.
