After a reformat of a Dell Dimension 2400, the resolution of the machine will not go above 480X640. I can not get any sound to play. In device manager, I get the big Yellow Question Mark of Death for all of the "Other Devices," including my ethernet controller, multimedia controller, PCI Modem, SM Bus Controller, USB Controller, and Video Controller. What can I do to remedy this problem?

To add to that, in Device Manager use the option to reinstall the drivers for each affected device.
Hope that works and best to do this in Safe Mode as user Administrator.
