I have a Riva TNT 2 32 mb video card installed on another computer and I was doing some updates on XP and the display got screwed up and set on like 8 bit color so i uninstalled the driver and went back to what it was before. But now for some reason it is stuck in 640 x 480 x 32 and when i go to adjust the resolution it automatically reverts back and i cannot seem to figure out how to fix it

any help would be greatly appreciated
