Ah - you are using the default drivers for the VGA display, which accounts
for the problem. You need to download new drivers and install them.
Since Belarc isn't telling you what the hardware is, try using AIDA32
instead - http://www.aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#aida32
with any luck, that will give you a link to the display adapter
manufacturer's website, from which you can download the latest Win ME
drivers (or post back here with what it does find, and we'll have a look for
you)
If it comes up with no further details, you'll need to go through he
documentation that came with the PC, and see if that details the adapter -
or open the case and see if you can tell. You could also let us know the
make/model of the PC.

Hi.
I re-formatted my computer's hard-drive and I re-installed Windows
Millennium. But after re-installation I get an extremely crappy display
with
only 16 colors and 640x480 resolution. I think I need new drivers or
something, but I have no idea what I need or where to get it from.
I know that, before I messed with the computer, I was getting as high as
True Color (32-bit) and 1024x768, so the problem isn't the hardware.
Can anyone help me, please?

P.S.
Belarc Advisor says, under Display, that I have:
Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA) [Display adapter]
OEC 15.7 [Monitor] (15.7"vis, June 1997)
