My video adapter driver doesn´t support the 43hz refresh rate, the one i need to use if i want to run 1024X768 on this computer.
WinXP
Sempron 2.3Ghz
256 RAM, 64MB video onboard
I need 43hz refresh rate mode and my driver doesn´t have it!

Not too much you can really do about that...it is a hardware limitation.
CPU - DFI 586IPVG, K6-2/+ 450 (Cyrix MII 433), i430VX, 128MB EDO.

So there is no driver compatible with VIA/SG3 Unichrome IGP that can run 43hz refresh rate, so that i become able to use 1024x768?

If your board will allow you to override the on-board graphics hardware with a graphics board, then you will probably get around both of the following:
* You have a much better chance of supporting the resolutions and frequencies you want to run.
* You have a much better chance of supporting refresh rates higher than 43hz at 1024*768. I agree that 43hz will be very unpleaseant to the eyes to watch.

Another thing that you could do is:
look if it's possible to add memory IC's on the board: more boards have free memory chip sockets that you can fill with the appropriate chip so you can extend the total of video memory.
In this case I think it's possible use a refresh rate higher than 43hz at 1024*768!

Try to use PowerStrip http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/ps.shtm to change the refresh rate.
It's an old Post. But maybe it's help u or other with the same Problem.
