Unhappy Cant go higher then 640 X 480

Alrighty i really have two problems here im gonna try to keep the explanation short.
I just got warcraft III and it played fine on my laptop, however i tried putting on my desktop and it crashed as soon as it opened. On the desktop I have DirectX 8.1 and a SiS 73 AGP 32 mb, the problem was that i couldnt enable AGP texture acceleration in DirectX. if you have any suggestions please advise.
Then i replaced the gfx card with a TNT 16 mb AGP i got the driver for it from gateway.com (the card came from a gateway) i looked up the part number 6000710 that had been printed on the back of the card and it was the only available driver. I installed the driver and the card now runs at 32 bit color but wont go any higher then 640 X 480, but it does run warcraft. If you have any suggestions on how to raise the resolution please advise.

Thanx,
Andrew

Try getting the detonator driver from nvidia instead of through gateway.

And if you're using Win95/98/Me, here's the Nvidia driver page:
http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=det_xp_win9x_30.82

You're lucky it's a TNT model: that's the oldest you can have and still be supported in the recent drivers (RIVA 128 card owners tend to be stuck with outdated drivers for their outdated cards).
