| Per Settings -> Advanced -> Adapter -> Current files.
| get sis530.drv "vdd.sis530v.vxd,dd530_32.dll
|
| The system used to work. May be related to changing from crt to flat
panel

No

|

|
| I guess that I will have to bite the bullet and switch monitors!

Not necessarily.. unless you changed the display device, i.e., the
monitor/CRT to flat screen, you will NOT be able to change the settings. CRT
registry settings are not the same as flat panel/screen devices.
The device should have come with an INF device file, at least... or you
will need to locate one.
I would suggest installing the flat panel INF, un-installing/re-installing
the video adapter driver as it may make some modifications to itself during
installation per that type of display..
