Display aspect changed in Vista Business upgrade

Thanks Dwarf,

After a day of consideration I tried something that amazingly has worked.
First I went to the sis website and downloaded the Vista drivers even though
they were not specific to the sis chip in my computer. I ran the .exe file.
Next I downloaded the sis software for the x86 family of processors and
installed that although it didn't completely install and aborted at the end.
Next I restarted my computer and had some crashes. Then I went into safe
mode and removed the sis from control panel uninstall and received
aproximately 50 little messages I kept ok'ing through - in the end the
uninstaller came up and I completed it although it kinda crashed at the end.
Then I restarted the computer in normal mode. When the computer came up the
actual screen size was very small so I right clicked to personalize and went
to change the resolution - to my pleasent surprise it showed only 1 monitor -
previously it showed 2 - and it had an option for the widescreen mode which
when I applied works perfectly just like it did in XP - but now I'm in Vista
- HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
