I'm unable to uncheck the extend my windows to desktop in windows 98. I'm only running one monitor and with this check I can not change any of the color settings. I stuck with 16 color and the lowest resolution which will not run anything.
Please help I have tried everything.
Thanks
You need to download and install the necessary video drivers for your computer's graphics card chipset.
If your computer has a PCI or AGP graphics card, you can power off your computer and then unplug it, open the computer case, and then check the graphics card to see either its make and model or simply write down the info about its chipset. The main graphics chip on the card, for example, might say SIS 6326. You would then go to the SIS web site and download the Win98 drivers for this graphics chipset.
If the graphics is built into the motherboard, then you can look on the motherboard for the graphics chipset model, or consult the motherboard manual or search online to see what graphics chipset the motherboard uses. Video drivers for motherboard chipsets can be downloaded either from the motherboard manufacturer's web site or from the chipset manufacturer's web site.
Once you have installed the appropriate video chipset drivers, the installation utility should ask you to reboot the computer. After you have rebooted, right-click on the desktop and then go to the Advanced settings. You should now be able to increase the color depth and screen resolution.
Yes there are a couple of settings which you must change in order for your computer to register your external monitor. on the desktop right click with your mouse and go to personalize, once that opens on the lower left corner click on display, now on the top left corner about the (5) fifth option it should say change display settings, click there. If you do not see two monitors displayed, click on detect, and once you see two monitors click on apply. Now if you want to extend your desktop to the second monitor simply go to the multiple monitor drop down menu and click on extend these displays, and viola there you have it. Be aware these settings are only meant for Windows 7.
