    I have an old Dimension 4100 that runs win2k pro. I recently did a clean install of the OS so my daughter could have this system. (want her off my PC) I never had the driver disks for this because someone burned a copy of the OS for us.

    Anyways the resolution is terrible, only running 16 colors and the device manager says I have the standard VGA. I have been to Nvdia, AMD Radeon, and even the Dell support site and every driver I download says "can't located the driver compatible with your system".

    I'm pulling my hair out on this and searching high and low on forums for solutions. I'm not tech savvy, so if you have answers for me, please forgive me in advance for saying "huh?"

    Why am I constantly getting this message? I know I can get a driver for this because he had to do it before, when we took ME off and istalled Win2k but I don't remember what I did. That was over 10 years ago.

    I hope someone can help...I have been spending days trying to figure this out!

    Thanks

    Hi Pippy


    Dell have some W2K drivers listed for that model of DELL, HERE

    But what I would suggest is to download from that list the Chipset driver to start with and install it and then reboot, however for the VGA thats a little harder as that model Dell came with some different Graphic Cards, so to find out what one you have download and run the below
