Windows 98 is only displaying 16 colours
I reformatted my computer after a critical error. Windows
was reinstalled but I can only get up 16 colours instead of the 256. As a novice and only a casual user I would appreciate step by step instructions please. Thankyou Crystal age 13 |

If you just reinstalled Windows, or you cannot change to 256, 16 bit, or 32
bit color, you probably need to reinstall your video card drivers. To reinstall your video card drivers, you need to know the exact make and model of your video card in order to install the correct/updated drivers. There are several ways to determine what kind of video card you have. 1. Check the manual that came with your PC. 2. You can open your PC tower to look at the video card and note the name and numbers printed on it. 3. You can download and run this free program.
