Default HELP -- Monitor bit won't change from 16 colors to a 32-Bit

My Windows Me computer wont change the bits for my monitor. Right now it is
at an 16-Color mode. I want it at a 32-Bit mode. I went to the monitor
settings, and it wont change the bit.

Default HELP -- Monitor bit won't change from 16 colors to a 32-Bit

Presumably you are having problems with the display on your monitor - e.g.
colour and/or screen resolution (size) issues, which you can't resolve in
the 'Display | Settings' panel.

If so, this usually means your video drivers have become corrupted or
damaged and you'll have to re-install your video drivers :-

Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters
and Monitors and then re-boot. WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug and Play)
your video card and monitor, and should install the 'correct' original
drivers.

This should allow you to reset you display to your required settings.

N.B. - Be sure that you have a 'fresh' copy of the video drivers (often
supplied on a supplementary CD, supplied with your PC) or download the
'latest' WinMe drivers from your video card manufacturers web site.

Good luck
