Hello everyone, any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a pentium 3 windows 98 SE (Special edition) and I have formatted it and re-installed windows 98 SE, but now when I go to the display properties and settings tab I can only get a maxium color of 16 when I use to be able to het 24 bit and 256 colors. Do I need a special type of software to get the extra colors, if you know what I need, or even whats wrong then please help me out,
thankyou everyone

Hello, thankyou for helping me out,
my computer is a win 98 SE, GenuineIntel, Intel(r) Celeron(tm) Processor, 192 MB Ram
I know the colors can work on my computer but i'm not sure what you mean about the driver, do you know what site I can update my driver on or if I should update windows 98 SE online?

Hello again, thanks for the help,
I tried the monitor and it only had one setting I could select so I think its the adapter but I don't know what to choose, how can I find out what my adapter is?
