Dell CPXJ screen resolution messed up...

[MatsHulten]

I connected my machine (a Dell CPXJ running Win2k Advanced Server) to a video cannon, and the resolution was automatically lowered to 640*480. I was forced to leave in a hurry, so instead of shutting windows down properly I killed it using the powerbutton.

Now the resolution seems to be set there permanently and I cant change it. (The grafics driver seems to be messed up somehow.)

I have tried to connect it to the same cannon and then shut down properly, but to no effect. I have also tried to reinstall windows, using the repair option, also to no effect.

Dell support says I should reinstall Windows completely...

Please give me an option someone!!!

Contact Dell again or go to their website to obtain a replacement video driver. I believe for that model, it's an ATI integrated video card. The Dell tech you spoke to before should have checked the graphics driver that was installed. Even if it lists the appropriate one, you need to reinstall it.

The knowledgebase at the Dell website is excellent and you should have no problems finding both the driver and instructions on how to install it.
