Windows7 resolution Problems

[tad341]

I have recently installed Windows 7 Pro on my girlfriends mothers pc, Dell Dimension 3000, al went well except i am now left with an earache from her as the screen resolution is stuck on 640x480, i am not great with pc's so a dummies guide of how to put this right would be so much appreaciated.

Waiting with baited breath.

Many Thanks

I have the same machine, and I have been unable to find any video drivers for it. Apparently Dell does not provide drivers for Windows 7 or Vista.

This is where they would be if they existed: Drivers & Downloads

I guess the XP ones don't work.

Welcome to Seven Forums. As Jonhathon as stated Intel only provides for XP and will only provide for XP. Here is some clarification on just that. Graphics — Older Intel® graphics controllers and Microsoft Windows 7* operating system On just a side note this is why it is always a good idea to run Windows Upgrade Advisor before installing Windows Seven Operating System on older systems. Sorry. Fabe

Have you checked out the manufacturer website for drivers? Here is a resource for updating hardware drivers that are not working properly: http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/65783-driver-needed-please-help.html.

Hope this helps!
