You say it can't go to 640x840? That is strange, usually people have problems getting out of that. May I ask what monitor driver you have install, and if there are any programs running in the background?

Mine's monitorh.inf

Ok, I talked around with some people, it seems to be a common problem with the sis 530 chipset along with unable to change the color depth out of 16m.

Have you gone to http://www.sis.com/support/driver/530.htm and downloaded a udpate for your driver?

They should be.

 

[dbzgtff7]

Well They Didn't Work

 

[Jason]

Try setting your monitor to plug and play or standard. If that doesn't work then there is some peice of software that is blocking it, or there is something wrong with the video card.

 

[dbzgtff7]

the plug & play is ticked already

 

[Jason]

I would have to say either a file is corrupt, something is blocking it (virus perhaps?) or that video card is bad.

Ahhh, my girlfriend has/had this kind of video card. It's an onboard SiS 530... one word--"HORRIBLE". Don't even bother trying to play games with that card.

But as far as help goes, If I had to search for a driver, I'd go to http://www.driversplanet.com. Although, some of them may be outdated, they probably haven't made any new drivers for the SiS 530.

What games were you planning on playing?http://www.driversplanet.com
