Re colour settings
Hi, I posted yesterday and said I could only use 16 colour
on my pc after formatting, and was told I needed to install my craphics drivers. Thanks for that, I then rememered that I had a couple of cd's that came with my pc, 1 is the Motherboard Utility cd, which I have now loaded, the other cd is the Graphics sound Network Drivers Utilities cd.( I know, I would be dangerous if I had more than 2 brain cells lol) When I tried installing the graphics cd, it did not run automatically, so I clicked on my computer icon and opened it from there in the hope that I could install it. However when I opened it, I was presented with the following folders: Radeon family: rage furymaxx: rage 128 pro family: rage 2128 family:and rage pro family. As I have no idea which of these i need to install, I havent installed any of them, and am hoping someone will be able to help. some further info which I hope might help: My pc is an ADM Duron, 1100 cpu QDI Kinetiz Skt A Motherboard, and I have an AGP Graphics Card. Not sure if this helps, but I live in hope lol. Thanks all. Don. |

To find out what Graphics card you have, either go to Device Manager, and look at the entry for Display Adapter. If you have reason to think that perhaps that isn't right - or doesn't give enough information, then download Everest Home edition - from www.lavalys.com http://www.lavalys.com/products/over...ng=en&pageid=1 Run that, and it should not only tell you the correct model number - but also give you a link to the card manufacturer's support website!
