Can't change monitor to more than 16 colors
I hope anyone can help me. I recently upgraded an old Compaq Presario 5423
with a MV520 monitor from Win98 to ME, as it needed a re-formatting, and everyhtinh looked fine except for the monitor. I can't change the settings to more than 16 colors and the pictures look horrible. I already removed the monitor, the adapter and let it configure it on its own to no avail. I don't know what to do. Help!! -- Message posted via http://www.windowskb.com |

You first need to ensure that you are using the correct graphics driver.
If you haven't already done so download and install the latest Win Me compatible video driver for your graphics card and when you've done that you should find yourself able to select a higher colour depth. -- Mike Maltby Toyma via WindowsKB.com wrote: I hope anyone can help me.
