I know this is a software question, but...\n\nI just did a clean install of XP on my buddy's computer... come to find out he doesn't have the dirver for his desktop display.  It's a "Protron PLTV-26".  It's readable, but no matter what I do, it won't display quite right (it misses every 10th vertical row - "i" and "l" are almost invisible).  I have the latest graphics card driver, but I can't find the display driver.

It looks like you are using a television monitor in place of a computer monitor. There is no display driver. Has the monitor ever worked? If not, you are going to need an adaptor. Computer monitors have more scan lines than tv sets. If your card already has tv output its a matter of setting the card to the right display mode. Try some different screen resolutions also.

I need a little more information in order to diagnose the problem.  When you go to the screen where you select the number of colours, are you able to change to 256, and it displays colours correctly...but then changes back later?  Or does it not even change at all to 256 colors?\n\nOften this sort of problem is related to some sort of change in the video drivers...this will often cause the computer to fall back on a default driver, which usually has only 16 colours.\n\nIf there is not a problem with the driver, it may be a more serious problem with your computer.  This would be difficult to diagnose...it could be a problem with the registry, a virus, or any number of other things.  Once in a while, a problem with the battery will cause some settings (like the clock) to reset, but I have never seen this lead to a problem with the number of colours resetting.\n\nThe other person's advice to use system restore is one option, although in practice, on ME, my experience with system restore has been poor.  Usually the best bet is a clean install, and the big piece of advice I have is--you probably shouldn't be using ME.  Most people who have ME I recommend to upgrade to windows 2000, which is much more stable.  If this is not an option because your computer is too old, sometimes a downgrade to 98SE can actually improve the stability of the system too.

My sister got an LCD monitor (not sure if it was TFT or what) and it had an image of her MSN permanently showing through the desktop wallpaper. SHe was on MSN a lot but only had the monitor for a month!\nI did not realize that LCDs could burn images like that. I am glad I still have my CRT right now.

A few of different ways:\n\n1.  Right click any blank spot on your desktop and select 'Properties'.  Select the 'Settings' tab.  The name of your display adpater will appear.  \n\n2.  Right click 'My Computer' and select 'Properties'.  Than select the 'Hardware' tab.  Select the 'Device Manager' button.  Navigate to and select 'Display Adapter'.  Double clicking on the adapter will bring up a property box for it, allowing you to see the driver version and other advanced features and infomation.\n\n3.  Download Belarc Advisor.  http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html\nIt's a free download that displays all of your system info on one page.  (The plus side to Belarc is that it includes a system security audit)

you may need to re-install the display driver.

you need a video card that supports tv out via s-video or composite connection.  it really helps to know what video card you are using and its display capabilities.  if you have a s-video out on your video card, you would plug an s-video cable into the video card and the other to the tv(or a composite cable depending on your tv connections).  windows xp will usally detect the tv after rebooting your computer and no further setup is needed.  hope this helps.

This feature sounds like it was some sort of virtual desktop that was provided by your graphics card drivers on your old card. It is not a standard windows function and it seems your new card doesn't offer this feature. You could try downloading and installing this...\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Enable-Virtual-Desktop/3003-2346_4-10418016.html

Check your Monitors manual for instructions on how to access the built in menu system. Often its obvious like a big menu button on the front!\nAnyway since you don't describe exactly what you mean by light I would suggest trying to reduce the contrast a little and or the brightness.\n\nIf this doesn't give you satisfactory results some graphic cards have system software which allows you to configure the brightness and gamma controls for the video output.\n\nJohn

You said you installed windows..you did not mention anything about installing your video drivers. It is not yor monitor, you don't have drivers for the video and it will act that way until installed and set correctly.

Find the model number and the manufacture.. Then go to their website and download the drivers for XP.. the generic XP driver isnt working..

I literally just went through this in that  third party applications would not work for TV capture.\n\nFinally it came down to a bug that was unlisted in the cards newest driver using t200 stream capture.  \nEventually it came down to several hours of driver version mixing before I called ATI , got referred to a senior analyst who was willing to admit this was a known issue which affects some capture functions in the newest drivers.\n\nThe following is what I was sent and it resolves the issue:\n\nfollow these steps: \nGet the catalyst 6.2\n http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=21599 \n \nNext go here: \n \nhttp://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=18934\n \nGet the DAO / MDAC, and Multimedia center there.\n\nMethod:\n \nGet the files above.\n\nUsing control panel,  add or remove programs,  remove \n-DAO,  \n-MMC 9.15, \n-parental control and encoder.\n-catalyst control center,   \n-ATI display driver.  Reboot as requested.\n \nInstall the items you have downloaded above. Start with the Catalyst 6.2 file.\nReboot.\nInstall DAO, then install the Multimedia Center (MMC).\nReboot the machine.\n\n---\n\nNow ATI  has an "anti-leech" engine running so the actual links may not work, you may have to copy and paste them into a new window\n\nbut if you follow the instructions to the letter,  (that includes instructions regarding Directx and .net found on the second page) your issue should be resolved

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

You may need to reinstall your video card or monitor drivers.  Check your floppies and CD's for them, if you don't have them, then check the manufacturers' websites out.  You can usually find your model information on the rear decal of your monitor and on the video card itself.

First, you must realize that the card you are referring to is almost obsolete.  In fact the driver included with Windows XP is probably the last updated driver you might be able to find.  \n\nYou can try to go to ATI.com and download a later version of the driver if you find one but chances are it is probably identical to XP driver in terms of functionality.
