Color control setting workaround
Hi, I am working on an elderly persons computer and have a question. I
formated a Win 98 SE machine and did a clean install of Windows Me per the owners request. My question is this: What DOS command can I enter to change the video color setting from 16 bit to 32 bit. For some reason I can't change the setting via the control panel Display settings window. The option to change the setting is greyed out. The desktop and all pictures are all fuzzy and the owners eyesight is bad enough already!! Any help would greatly be appreciated. |

You cannot do this from DOS!
Reboot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager Remove ALL Display Adapters Remove ALL Monitors Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers - hopefully curing your problem. If not, then update the Video drivers from the manufacturer's website -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "g8torboy" wrote in message news:8sspe.43$FP2.24@lakeread03...
