    Hi All,



    I am Using Windows XP on my P4 system. System Specs are 1.7 GHz and 512MB RAM.

    Thanks in Advance.




    Regards

    Hello sheraz

    The system seems unable to 'see' the display requirements, or your hardware is unable to provide or allow the required installation.
    What type of display board has been physically installed? Is it also software installed?
    If not : do you have the software to do so?

    In control panel, click on display and go to Settings Tab and then the Adv button at the bottom

    -now click the Adapter tab, what is listed there?

    If it worked properly in the past, restore the os to that state.

    The first part of this response is right, however JAMES and sreenivaspn81, you need to pay attention as the OP stated that they reinstalled Windows, therefore there is NOTHING for them to system restore back to.
