Video Controller Problem

Expand Post »
I tried toying around with Linux. It didn't work quite right. When I reinstalled Windows XP Pro, I was stuck in 640X480 resolution. I checked device manager and there were big yellow question marks and one of them was listed as VGA video controller.

1)What does this mean?
2)How can I fix it?

Linux said that I had an Intel 865 Video Card with an i810 chipset, if that is the correct terminology. Could someone please comment?

Re: Video Controller Problem

I suspect that is an onboard video controller.
Do you have the CD that came with the motherboard, it should have the video drivers you need to fix the problem.

Re: Video Controller Problem

Look for 865XP55.exe (Assuming XP) Those should work for the 845 and 865 chipsets.

Microstar and many others should have those available for you.
Here is a link that should get you going...
