I have a problem changing the resolution on my monitor from 640X480 to 1024X768. The monitor supports the latter as its maximum resolution. if I select it either on the fly or change it and reboot I get flickering horizontal bands of colour and have to reset it to 640X480.

I have the following:

SBM 14" svga monitor (not DPMS or PnP)
Tseng ET-6000 PCI VGA 2.3 meg colour card.
The OS is WIN95 B (OEM)

I do not have enough technical experience to know for certain but I suspect that the graphics card does not have enough ram to enable it to switch to the higher resolution. Is this correct? If not, how much ram does it take to support this mode?

I have recently updated the driver for the card but it has not made any difference.

Please help me out of my ignorance!
