Do you mean that the reason she can't change it in the settings option is
that the option doesn't exist (apart from not being able to select OK)?

The solution to that problem is to find and install the correct video
display adapter drivers for your card. There may have been a CD of drivers
provided with the machine (or with the card, if you bought it as an
upgrade). If not, you may be able to download the correct drivers from the
video display adapter manufacturer's www site, or from the www site of the
machine manufacturer (if the display adapter is part of the motherboard).
Otherwise, you may be able to get a suitable driver from any of the driver
download sites, or you could use a generic driver from the www site of the
video display chipset manufacturer. Software such as Everest can detect the
type of hardware you have installed.

When you get the correct drivers, follow the manufacturer's instructions for
installing them. You should then have access to all the display modes that
your hardware supports.

Note that this problem is not a monitor or monitor driver problem - it is a
problem with the drivers for the display adapter - the device that actually
generates the video signal.

Thank you Jeff, I will pass all that info on to my friend who is away at the
moment. Will report the outcome if there is one.

Thanks
