my display drivers wont install.

i just build a new computer for xmas, and im stuck in sh1tty 800x600 mode. i plugged my samsung syncmaster 152v monitor into the new pc and it simply wont install the drivers, wither from cd or interweb, saying there is a 'error code 259'

im working on my old video card, but it would display fine on my other bigass monitor. wutsup?
 
Found this associated with that error>

"Cannot remove or update scale when scale is on."

Whatever scale is turn it off.

This is where I found it.
 
Tried removing the device completely from device manager?
 
tried that, but it just reboots and installs the default display drivers. i can still use windows, but these drivers wont go past 800x600 on 16 colours.

if i get my new video card, would that fix it?
 
please help guys, i cant work the computer if i cant see anything.
 
remove and reinstall the video driver, default monitor drivers should allow all ranges.
 
as i say, that doesnt work.

im getting my new graphics card asap anyway, ill come back and ***** if it fails after installing.
 
some old clapped out crap that was in my mums old 200mhz computer.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
