I tried to get on the public planet mirror web site and I had not luck, it
said it was unavailable. I am having the same problem as you are with the 256
colors mine says that a file in the Drive Image SE is missing for the S3Inc
Savage 4 device, the file name is "s3_8.dll"
Thanks for the link, i did get some updates for a few other things on my
computer but i could not get the update for 256 colors. Here is the video
adaptor and drivers that was listed on my computer ...
Standard PCI Graphics Adaptor (VGA)
Driver Files - c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VGA.DRV
- c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vmm32.vxd (vdd.vxd)

Provider - Microsoft Corporation
File Version - 4.10.1999

1. Download Everest from he
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/m...esthome220.exe

2. Install and then run Everest.

3. Expand "Computer", then look in the "Summary" for your video adapter, in
the Display section. If the name of the adapter appears in blue, click that
and see if Driver Download is offered. If so, click that. If you can't get
any further without being totally confused, post back with the name of the
device, exactly as written, and the address that the Driver Download link
took you, if any. (Copy/Paste from your internet browser.)
