The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dell Optiplex GX260 - Video Card not working after Windows Update (Windows 2000)

Asked by bwooden in General Computer Systems

Tags: gx260, optiplex, video, dell, card

We have a Dell Optiplex GX260 with the on-board Intel 82845G video card.  Last week we did a Windows Update on the system (which included a video driver update) and afterwards the video card now only functions in 640x480 resolution with 16 colors.  The option shows up to change the slider to 800x600 but it won't take the change, it says it does but never actually changes resolutions.  Before the update we were running in 1024x768 with high colors.  I have tried reinstalling the drivers with the newest from the Intel website for this video card, but still seem to have the same problem.  I even did a driver rollback to the original driver from the Dell initial install and the problem still persists.  Any ideas on how to fix this problem??  Thanks
