GeForce 4 MX240 stuck in 640x480 in Win98SE.

The computer I currently use for 'net access (not mine) has been minorly fux0red since a recent power outage: in Standard Mode, Windows won't load with a resolution higher than 640x480, 16 colors. The Display Properties window has limited options available (16, 256 and 16-bit color, max resolution of 1024x768) but Windows hangs and gives a "video card not installed" message when booting with any of the other resolution and color options. When attempting to reinstall the drivers, Windows gives a "no nVidia chipset found" error message.
My friend thinks there's a way to get Windows to display again in a higher resolution and color, but can't remember how to do it. The system is running Windows 98 SE with a Geforce 4 MX420 and, if it matters, a CTX VL950 monitor. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. (If my friend can't resolve the video issue by the end of the week, he plans to replace the card.)
