Default strange graphics card problem

hi,
i am running an Athlon 2200XP computer with an Asus K7VM2 motherboard
with integrated S3 ProSavageDDR graphics card. I am having major
problems with it!!!

When I was setting the PC up (new base unit, same monitor) under
Win98, the dreaded blue screen occured EVERY time I tried to boot up.
Now I can at least use the system, I have narrowed the problem down to
this- when I try to change the number of colours in the control panel,
on reboot I get this error 0028:C0037FC7 VXD IFSMGR(01) + 00004ED0B.
This happens when I try to go any higher than 256 colours, or if I try
to set the graphic acceleration past halfway. Obviously this sucks!

I know this isnt the s3 group, but my newsreader cant find it!! Can
anyone help? I would be forever grateful as my newish PC is ****ing me
off.

thanks in advance
scott

Default

yours is an Asrock motherboard with onboard graphics chip and a **** poor
one at that.
(no disrespect to you)
go to www.asrock.com and email them for support.
better yet - disable the onboard graphics and put in a decent AGP card
(even a basic Radeon 9200 will be better than that S3)
