Apparently, Windows is falling back on the vanilla VGA driver which is  
supported by virtually all modern video cards, but has very limited  
capabilities.
So either:

(a) the Compaq video driver you  have loaded isn't the right driver for the 
video hardware present in the  machine, or

(b) the Compaq video driver you have loaded is corrupted  and unusable, or

(c) the Compaq video driver you believe you have  loaded is not, in fact, 
loaded and properly installed.

Do  these machines have video hardware on the motherboard, or add-on 
graphics  cards?

David,
 All mobos have on board graphics. I suspect my unreliable dial-up may  be 
responsible for faulty downloads which I am transfering to cd-r via Easy CD  
Creator. I will try downloading again from my brothers high speed to see if this  
solves the problem.
