I had to reload 98 onto an old 486 and am down to 16 colours in the screen setup. I seem to remember that you had 256 colour or higher option. The question is where has this gone? cant find it on the install disc any ideas?

hi bronco'

it seems to me that I had this problem on an old p166 ... sometime ago

do you have a video-card? or is it on board?

as far as I remember, it was a question of drivers, and with the bios settings ...

something like a shared memory stuff ... I might be wrong here, but it's so long ago

have you got any drivers for video?

francois

I think you might be right, I was given this machine and it's previous owner said it had been tweaked. I was looking at the drivers and cards the other day I willget a list and get back to you. I seem to remember downloading a driver off the web for more colours

bronco

right, driver missing ...

or installed unproperly

hope you can get out of this 256 colors ...

francois

gotta find driver, maybe microsoft

hi bronco,

here is an address which can be of some help ...

drivers help

I think that you should find what you are looking for

francois
