my color settings are stuck

My color settings are stuck on 16 colors, 640 by 480
pixels, when I want it to be 256 colors, 1024 by 768
pixels. I keep changing it, and restarting the computer
to see the changes, but when windows returns, it is still
in 16 colors, etc.

How can I fix this?

Bianca, it sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being
properly recognised, is incorrectly set-up, or is corrupted.

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

If it still doesn't help, you'll need to install the latest WinMe driver for
your Video Card (Adapter) which you should be available to download from the
card manufacturers web site.

HTH and good luck

You're welcome - hope you got your other (Safe Mode) problem sorted out too,
although I now wonder if was only a resolution/colour issue resolved by
fixing your display drivers.
