I must be f***ing stupid, but Detonator 6.31 problem

[Northland]

Hi,

I am no rookie to PC's, but I can't figure this one out!

I just installed a 3d Prophet II MX on my EPOX 7KXA - Athlon 800 system and can't get the monitor to switch to a resolution of more than 640x480 (no matter what the color depth is). I go to setting, set it 800X600 and no go, it just returns to 640X480.

I am using a Radius PrecisionColor Display/20 that has done 1024X768 at 75Hz with any other graphics card!

Any suggestions on what to try?

I had this exact same problem, same video card, different mobo. For some reason, the 6.31 drivers couldn't detect my card. Try using the 6.34 drivers, it worked for me.

I tried the 6.34 drivers and it didn't do it!

Anybody else have any ideas?

Thanks,

reinstall your monitor drivers

You didn't mention your OS. I have had the same problem with Win98se. The solution that has worked for me is to "change" the video adapter driver. Windows "finds" the best driver and after the installation all the choices you want are there.

Only thing is: I think it is the same driver. Still, it works ... for me at least.
