Inspiron 1100 fresh install now low resolution HELP

~Hello,

 

  I did a clean reinstall of Windows XP. Everything went great except for my resolution. It will not allow me to have anything but 8bit color. I did install the drivers after windows.  I can have higher resolution but only if I allow my screen to be mini in size. I went to computer-properties-settings-advanced-adapter and list all modes. I tried all the options and none work. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks  ~

You need to make sure you've installed:

The Dell notebook system software (system utilities)

The chipset driver (under chipset)

and then install

The video driver (video).
