Hi

after uninstalling a program (Unicenter Remote Control) I have a
"black frame" around my screen. The only options I have under Settings
- Control Panel -Display - Settings are 16 color and 800x600 (also
640x480). This is resulting in a small window that cant be larger and
really bad coloring.

I have dowloaded and installed the correct driver (at least what I
think is the correct) from
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/armada/us/download/7902.html

After installing and rebooting I still have the same options as above
under Settings. I dont know how to proceed from here. Please help.
Thanks

What is your operating system? Did you try to change the resolution
after the install and reboot?

I use Windows 2000 Professional and yes, I tried to change the
resolution. I still have the same options as before installation (16
colors and 800x600)

Thanks for your reply. Since you have already downloaded the correct
driver for your system the problem may be due to incorrect
installation. Did you uninstall the old driver before you installed
the one you downloaded? If not, please try to do that and see if it
works.

Your issue here is most likley the video driver:

Go here for you drivers, you will need to fill out processor and OS info:

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/armada/us/index.html

Once the correct driver is loaded and you reboot you should be able to
adjust the settings for your video card..as you stated in the
question.

Hope this helps
