Dell Dimension 2400 w / Windows 7-CANT CHANGE RESOLUTION?

I have recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 7 and for some reason that my computer won't let me change my resolution. It is stuck on 640 x 480, and it looks TERRIBLE! Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, because I barely know ANYTHING about these things.

Thanks to NYGnat

(And DJ Toast on the driver Guide .com)

I have installed:

"82845 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphic Chipset Driver Version 6.14.10.4342 for Windows 7"

on my Demension 2400 AND solved the mess of graphics driver created by

the "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" Windows 7 automatically installs.

I used Philip Yip's "Unofficial Guide of Installation Windows"

to install it VIA Device Manager it offers.

    No you can't. Given that it's a Dell and it came with Windows XP pre-installed, it's an OEM of Windows version.  The biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    And let me ask you as if you checked to make sure everything on the Dell is compatible with Windows 7, and there are Windows 7 drivers for all your hardware that requires it.

  • Need help to reinstall Windows XP on a Dell Dimension 2400 desktop

    I bought this desktop computer Dell Dimension 2400 in 2003 as a wedding gift for my daughter and son-in-law.  They are busy and it was not much used, but it just got to the point where he needed the reinstalled op.  I've done it before on my computer so I suggest you to do it for them.  When my daughter went to recover the disks supplied with the PC there is no House of windows xp included reinstall op edition drive and I don't think I ever had one with the PC.  Other CDs were there.  I decided to try to use reinstall windows xp edition drive family of my Dell Dimension 2200 op.  I was told that it was OK to do this when I spoke with a Dell technician.  When it finished formatting and installation of the op I found that I did not set up an internet connection.  In Device Manager, the Ethernet hardware has question marks by them and are highlighted in yellow, even though I had put in the resource CD and downloaded that and everything on all the other drives right after the installation.  If I could get on the internet I could download the drivers and other necessary things for other minor problems, I'm having too large icons, etc.  The only difference between the Dell Dimension 2400 and my Dell D 2200 is the 2400 internet ready came from the factory, and I added the ethernet card in my Dell Dimension 2200, Linksys.  Otherwise, they both use the same broadband, Roadrunner, which is always on cable modems.  What can I do now?

    The product key is the 25-character code on the sticker on the computer case.  Keys for the home edition are not compatible with other editions (Pro, Media Center, etc.).

  • Dell Dimension 2400 will not meet the key USB WIFI Netgear

    Dell Dimension 2400 Windows XP.

    Trying to get my old Dell back in action, but I ran into a problem. NO INTERNET.

    I have the WIFI in my house but I can't connect wirelessly with the desktop computer.

    I have a NetGear Wireless - N Dual Band, but dell WNDA3100 USB won't pick it up. The flash player is on, but it will not install the new software. It is said there was a problem and it probably won't work correctly.

    Any ideas? Thank you!

    first go to the device driver and uninstall everything dealing with netgear.

    also if it is listed in Add/Remove to uninstall and restart.

    https://www.Google.com/#q=NETGEAR+Wireless+n+dual+band+WNDA3100+USB+XP+installation+guide+and+software

    above is a search page with instructions for installing xp

    you have version 1 or 2?

    just a thought you have wireless zero config service started/automatic services?

    After all your updates should be installed which will disable the autorun, so that when you insert a usb key, nothing will happen until you go to my computer and click on the device to open it, this was done so that you would have a chance to scan a usb usb being one of the fastest ways to spread a virus If she had previously plugged into an infected pc.

  • Dell Dimension 2400 desktop w/XP Home Edition: video card Question

    Hello people... last week, I got a desktop pc from a friend who walked away, Dimension 2400 desktop with Windows XP Home Edition. I plan on upgrading it and either sell it or it give. Last night, I ordered a titled graphics card "ATI Radeon 9250 card 256 MB DDR PCI"... which, after purchasing, I discovered via google and other search engines it takes to 220W - 250W power... the power supply installed is 200W... fundamental question is: should I upgrade the PSU? ". Or 200 will do well. Thank you!!!

    Hello

    Welcome to the community

    Have you tested the video card? The computer works fine with the new card? In this configuration, I suggest to upgrade the power supply. You can get 250W or higher power. If the computer is on, you can wait for that stop at random. Let me know if you still need assistance.

    Kind regards

  • New HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor for old Dell Dimension 2400. necessary graphics card?

    My in-laws have an old Dell Dimension 2400 and the monitor exploded. I bought a new HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor. My WIRE went to set up, and he tells her that a HMDI graphics card is required.

    This is a pretty old computer. I think he might have as... 512 MB of RAM. Is there an inexpensive graphics card that will meet their needs?

    And besides, when they buy the graphics card, are there all the cables that they must reach a new monitor to an old computer?

    Thank you very much!

    Nice description of Dell:
    Video connector to 15 holes :-)

    Seems to be a VGA connector.

    From the description of the monitor:
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02643130
    There is an also vga connector, so you will have no problem to connect the two.

    No additional card is necessary, no other cable - just use the old vga cable.

    Your only problem might be the resolution:
    resolution 1600 x 900 set at the factory for the monitor.

    I don't know if you can set the resolution to Dell, you should test.

    Otherwise a 4:3 normal/old monitor would be better than this 'big screen' new.

    You type a letter in a word processing program (Microsoft Word, Corel
    WordPerfect, OpenOffice, etc.). Do you have a word processing program
    installed?

    If you have not installed Word processing program, you can use
    WordPad, which ships with Windows. But note that WordPad is a very
    primitive processing program (really more a glorified text)
    Editor in Chief) and gives you much less control over the formatting to a real
    processing.

  • What's Dell Dimension 2400 desktop computer capable of capturing a wireless signal? Should this function be switched?

    Dell dimension 2400 desktop computer was plugged into the wireless router we have. We got a new computer and moved the old desktop (Dell 2400) in another room. It is not picking up, or even searching for a wireless signal. She still has this ability? How can we it give this ability?

    The Dimension 2400 is not normally a built-in wireless networking capability.  To view, go to the Control Panel > Classic view > System > hardware > Device Manager and double-click network adapters .

    If that doesn't show wireless network card, you can add it by buying a USB wireless network adapter or a Wireless PCI adapter card .

    JohnLabib

    The Dimension 2400 supports a maximum of 2 GB (2 x 1 GB modules) RAM DDR.

    The Dimension 2400 can use 400 MHz or 533 MHz, Socket 478, P - 4 Northwood or Celeron processor with a 512 k or more small cache.

    The maximum size of the processor is a Socket 478 Northwood P4 3.06 GHz, 533 MHz FSB processor.

    The 2400 will not take Prescott processors [1 MB cache].

    Before upgrading the processor, verify that the latest BIOS is installed, with BIOS version A03 CPU microcode update has been added in support of the latest processors.

    Please let me know the specification of the new memory sticks. If you bought this online store, please give the link.

    Hi NICOLAS,.

    Motherboard Dell Dimension 2400 does not come with AGP slot or slot PCIex16. You will have to look out for PCI video cards, but most of the cards are low profile cards. You won't get a FHD 1080 p resolution.
