Rise of Nations for Win 98
Have you confirmed that your video card can support 16-bit colour?
If so, then you need to check that the correct drivers for the video adapter card are installed. If you have only generic VGA drivers you will not get 16-bit colour The solution is to find and install the correct video display adapter drivers for your card. There may have been a CD of drivers provided with the machine (or with the card, if you bought it as an upgrade). If not, you may be able to download the correct drivers from the video display adapter manufacturer's www site, or from the www site of the machine manufacturer (if the display adapter is part of the motherboard). Otherwise, you may be able to get a suitable driver from any of the driver download sites, or you could use a generic driver from the www site of the video display chipset manufacturer. Software such as Everest can detect the type of hardware you have installed. When you get the correct drivers, follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing them. You should then have access to all the display modes that your hardware supports. Note that this problem is not a monitor or monitor driver problem - it is a problem with the drivers for the display adapter - the device that actually generates the video signal. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) " .com wrote in message ...
