I see , in that you case should have the driver on the Dell resource cd, it will be an old one, but will work all the same, if you get it running again, follow the link i posted earlier and install the latest driver...
btw, what operating system are you using? if its WinXP you could try a system restore (start, programs, accessories, system tools, system restore) i believe Win ME has this option aswell...
I'll see what I can do,,,,I have WinXP,,,system restore won't work. Do youbad.. think its the driver or the on board video that went. If I buy a video card and disable the on board do you think that would fix the problem.
Installing a PCI card should work fine, but i would say you'll have to solve the initial problem first...just try this before you buy one, as i think its just a driver problem...
Boot into safe mode and go into device manager (right click My computer, properties, hardware, device manager) locate the onboard display adaptor and right click, choose uninstall, apply changes and reboot, windows will reinstall the device.. see if that works
If that doesn't work, then i would suggest a format a clean install of XP, just to make sure before you waste your cash, because theres nothing to suggest its a hardware failure, the error your getting is usually just a driver error or conflict
