It may be due to the Acer machine not being compatible
with 98. Go to Acer website. You can read the Owners
manual for free for your specific model. You may have to
do a bios flash update on the laptop. But this needs to be
done with caution. I don't even know if it is possible or
available. If it is? Read the Acer's instructions and
follow them to the letter.

Hi,

I've got an old laptop, AcerNote Light 350PCX. It has a
65540/545 Chips and Technologies video card. In windows
95, I can get it at 16bit color no problem. However, in
Windows 98, with the 65545 driver that comes with windwos
98 I can only get 16 colors! I tried the Chips and
Technologies Super VGA driver instead and I've got 256
colors. However I can't seem to find a driver that will
give me 16bit color.

What can I do? I've tried all the drivers I could find on
the internet and none seem to work. Is there a general
driver someone can give me like a Super VGA driver that
has 16bit color support?

Intel seems to know this problem, and I tried their
solution but it doesn't work:

I'm lost, please help,
