is the Monitor INF settings the correct one for the brand of monitor you have?
adapter was tried at optimal and default.how can i tell if inf settings are correct?
Control Panel - Display Settings - Settings - Advanced - Monitor - Chhange settings & make sure it says what your monitor is, and not standard Monitor or PnP.
tried to set the correct name for monitor to no avail.swapped monitor for newer one and got the resolution.the old monitor is 6 yrs
old.this wouldn't be a problem?
It could be possible that the older monitor might be a standard VGA which would then be why it wouldn't go to 800x600 as 99% of VGA monitors only done 640x480x256c max.
thanks for your help
