Monitor resolution cannot be adjusted after reformatting

Question

I just reformatted my Dimension 2400, and when it came up the monitor resolution was minimum, and I cannot seem to adjust it.  I tried using all the discs I could find, including one that seemed to indicate it had monitor drivers on it--but that disc only seems to have text and advice on it.  I cannot set up my internet connection with the resolution so low among other things.

Yes . . you can download those drivers and copy them to cd and then install them from the cd drive on the other computer

Hi   Page 47 of this manual will show you where the integrated graphics connection is.   http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim2400/en/F75560LRs.pdf   If you have a PCI graphics card then the monitor connection will be on a PCI card in a PCI slot   Edit,   The PCI slots are the white bands at the bottom of the rear casing view. These are removed to make use of the slot(s)     hth   Ceri   Message Edited by ceri sheeran on 05-06-200605:54 PM

Hi,

What graphics

Integrated on Board or PCI card

If Integrated, check out the downloads, bottom left of this page. This is the video downloads for the 2400

ciosso,

You need to install Video driver, but make sure your Chipset drivers are installed First.

It's windows XP operating system.  I'm not sure how to check if it's integrated on board or the other--I do know that I did not add any graphics after I purchased it, so it's all the Dell stuff it came with.   I'm assuming I can download those drivers and copy them to cd and then install them from the cd drive on that computer--since that computer is not on line.
