When I first got this pc the color graphics were set
at 256 colors / 600x800 pixels. It is now at 16bit / 480x640 and I can't change it back using the windows settings. reset and restart with no results. what am I doing wrong? |

changing color display from 16bit to 256 colors
Is it 16-bit or 16 colours? If it's 16 colours then you probably need to
install the correct video adapter drivers for your video adapter card. In Device Manager, what's the description of the video adapter card drivers? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "david" wrote in message ...

changing color display from 16bit to 256 colors
been in 16 cols and 256 cols half my computer life, and it's kinda nice,
doesn't mess up your eyes that much boot to safe mode on 9x/Me/2k/xp or try last known good configuration on 2k/xp/2k3 if it doesn't work, just go to system properties and see what video adapter you have, mabe it doesn't support more than 8bit color some adapters don't suport 8 bit colors on 800x600 resolution, set the resolution to 640x480 and then the color depth to 256 colors or 16 bit cheers, Costea Bogdan "david" wrote: When I first got this pc the color graphics were set at 256 colors / 600x800 pixels.
