It sounds like you need to reinstall your display driver.

Set your adapter in default setting.

Either in add remove progs-uninstall the S3
then reinstall it from the S3 Cd

or

go to control panel-system-hardware-device manager
expand the Display Adapters-it should show your S3 thing (if not then its not installed)
double clik it-driver-update driver-put in cdrom etc

how old is your monitor and graphics card? you may need to re-size and increase the refresh rate

you need to give more info, there are different types of s3 prosavage graphics.

what windows are you running on?

what motherboard are you using? if you dont know then what is the make and model of your pc?

right click on "my computer" and then click properties>hardware>device manager> if you have any question marks or exclamation marks on any of the devices listed then right click on it or them and update driver, click the install automatically. if this doesnt sort your problem then...

click on display adapter and write down what the type is ie prosavage 370 or prosavage 420 ddr etc etc and post back, i should be able to get a direct link to the driver you need.
