ReplyDeleteFirstly thanks to Jigar who set me in the right place to fix this.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work exactly as it was described for me:
Firstly the graphics card has 2 versions and the difference is only in the description - Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller and Intel® 82865G Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH). The second is supported and there is an upgrade from the intel site and the first isn't. The driver that is shown at the "download" link is for GMCH. As I knew that the first was not supported I tried to make the changes in the Properties menu of my current driver but couldn't find it.
-I went onto the Dell website and found the latest version of the driver for THE OLD VERSION of Windows that I was using and downloaded that. Once it was finished I had to look for it in the Downloads file of my computer.
- Copy the setup.exe file and paste it to your desktop.
-Right click on the setup.exe icon on your desktop and select properties to open the properties window as displayed above.
-Go to the ‘Compatibility’ tab and select ‘Windows XP (Service Pack 3)’ in drop down and select ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for:’ check box as shown above and click on the Ok button of the dialog.
-Right click on setup.exe file and select ‘Run as administrator’ to install the driver.
-It will start installation ,I run into some errors while instillation but somehowe it insllaled the drivers., so ignore any errors occurred while installation.
-Restart the machine. Now you will have proper display. You can also check that now more resolution options are available in Screen Resolution window.
Good luck from me too!!
