How to change my display adapter to a standard VGA mode?

How can i change my Display Adapter on Windows 7?

• I have an alienware m17x which uses ATI mobility radeon HD 4870. I uninstalled the driver through the device manager and then reinstalled from a resource CD included with the computer. However, its not listed in the device manager after the reinstall. In its place is "standard VGA display adapter."

• Answer:

  Sounds like you did not install the driver correctly. Go to Alienware's website, and log into the "My Hive" section and get the latest drives for it. Here is the 32bit link from AMD: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-32.aspx Here is the AMD 64 bit link: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx I would still get the ones from alienware directly though, as they tweak their drivers for better performance at times.
