Nvidia Geforce2

Hello,
I got an update notice from Windows to install Nvidia Geforce2. And stupid
me did that. Now my monitor display settings don't work anymore. Changing
them in the control panel doesn't help. The text in explorer, msn, etc. is
very small. I can't get it any bigger.
I'm working with Windows 2000 on a Dell latitude laptop C810.
Thanks for your help

Mandy,

You can right click on the open desktop and select properties, then select
the settings tab. Then towards the bottom right side, there should be a
sliding bar with adjustments called screen area settings. Slide the bar to
the left to select for larger text such 800x600 or 1024x768. If that does
not work, then you will need to go to Dell's website to the Drivers and
Downloads section after entering in your Service Tag # (on the bottom of the
laptop on a small tag) so that you have the correct make and model of your
laptop and download the video driver for your laptop. Then go into Control
Panel, Add/Remove Programs and find the nVidia Driver and select
remove/uninstall. Reboot your laptop. When it comes back to the desktop and
it says it found new video hardware (it may or may not do this), make sure
that is doesn't go out to Microsoft Updates site- cancel out of this part.
You want the update section to go to the directory where you downloaded the
video driver from Dell. You will have to go into Windows Explorer and
double-click on the executable file from Dell to expand the files and that
will then install the correct video driver for you. Once all that is done,
then you can go back to the Settings Tab to select what Screen Area size you
want again.

Thanks Terry. I tried everything but it didn't work. Changing the pixels made
the text very trouble. On the dell website, nvidia was the only driver
listed. I simply removed nvidia, but things didn't go back to normal.
