Old Compt Old Problems

[martymas]

hi team i need your advice .

i have this old compt beyond a p2 .

running win98.

and i have trouble not being able to get more than 2 color options .

16 color and 256 color.

the 256 color is glazed when i check display properties.

now my Q does this mean i need to upgrade the display card.

or find a suitable driver .

ive tried many drivers whith no affect.

when my compt boots to the welcome screen it boots in color.

but when the desktop appears it is grey and white

ive been to display propertys .but i have no color choices.

if it was a p2 or higher i know how to adjust that .but im stumped .

with this older model im not sure where togo for help.

i had a hell of a time making it sustain 800+600.resolution. it was going back to 640+480

hope you can understand my delema .

i need advice on this old thing.gives me head aches but it is dam interesting

You could try to find drivers for your card. First run balarc Advisor,balarc. Or Sandra Standard To find out what vid card you have.

then go to Driverguide.com, driverguide. And see if it list the one you need. Or the manif. website to see if they still have one.

This could save you money on a new card.
