    I have a older Dell Latitude CPi A Series Laptop. I had to do a complete format. I lost my video drivers and reloaded them. However, my screen is 1/2 the size of the monitor and my settings only allow me to have 16 colors max with 640X480 max. Need help where do I go to fix this problem?

    What operating system? Did you select the driver in Device Manager and check windows update for a newer driver?

    Unfortunately, no. That is what I downloaded and installed already.

    Eureka!!!! Success, When I installed the NeoMagic .inf file I installed the wrong one in the file once I installed the correct one it worked. I installed the 2200.inf originally but changed to the nmgc5.inf. I knew something was not right I just had to dig deep in my back burner brain cells to figure it out. Thank you for your efforts in assisting me in this problem.
