Today, I upagraded my Windows 98se computer to Windows XP. I allowed it to adjust the display, and now, it sucks. The desktop is larger than the monitor. The Taskbar is too low, and the screen goes too far off to the right as well. Using the adjust controls on the monitor itself doesn’t work. Changing the display resolutions doesn’t work. Changing the color depth, doesn’t work. I thought that maybe upgrading the display driver might work, but apparently, even though the computer I bought was made with modern parts, my AGP video card is obsolete (Savage/IX chip ID 8C31). I downloaded, what I think should be an upgrade, but Windows won’t let me upgrade the driver (the option doesn’t show up). I tried using the driver disk that came with my computer, but Windows told me that first, it doesn’t have XP logo or signature (or whatever it’s called), so it can’t be sure that it would work right, then, when I said install anyway, it told me that the driver it’s using is newer anyway. Uuuggghhh!!!
And it’s not just the desktop, most programs I open go too far off to the right and/or to the bottom.
If anybody has any suggestions, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
