Hi, so I had Windows 98 on my Compaq Presario, and my sister often played a game called Petz 5 with no problems. A while ago though I %26quot;upgraded%26quot; to Windows XP via a clean install (I wiped my hard drive and installed XP.)
The problem is now the game won't run. I reinstalled it but it says the resolution has to be higher. And even after installing the driver for my monitor, I still can't change the resolution. It gives me a weird black error screen message saying the monitor can't handle it. WHICH doesn't make sense since I could play the game before...
Okay, so I have a Compaq Presario MV520 monitor and I THINK an SiS 530/620 video adapter, or at least that's what Windows is telling me.
If someone knows how I can get my resolution working like it was before that would be great! Oh, and if it is a driver issue, please paste the exact URL for them because I've been looking into this for months and can't find the right ones! :P
Thanks so much in advance,
Lukas
PS If I left out any information that might help, lemme know and I'll add it ASAP. Thanks! :)Can%26039;t change resolution after clean install of Windows XP?
oh but wait you have windows 98 computer :O
usually windows 98 computers have bad graphics, Especially when you get to formating and booting up on xp.... so you can either get a new graphics card or get a new computer....
Since well windows 98 is extremely old and out dated therefore you may not get any graphics cards that the motherboard can handle....
You need to install the drivers from the graphics card site and check it for updates.
