Default Only 16/256 colors for 65545 Chips & Tech. video card

If you read my reply more closely, I said to also try the Win95 drivers.

Ok, here's the deal. If I do what you said with the
windows 98 driver on the website you gave me or with the
98SE driver, when I finally boot into windows expecting it
to work I get this message. "Windows protection error. You
must restart your computer" This is the same thing I get
with all win98 drivers I've tried. I have win98SE (second
edition)

This probably means the drivers don't work at all. I think
the only driver that actually works is the Super VGA one
(look at first post)
because it actually displays info about the video card on
the adapter page when it is installed unlike the other
drivers of which none I can get past 16 colors or they
just don't work at all.

Thanks for trying to help,

Flaviu

Try one of the Windows 98 drivers there, or even a

Windows 95B/OSR2x driver. One of
the more generic Toshiba drivers may also work.

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,
