Hi, I used to have 32-bit color on my computer until something got messed up and we had to get the computer fixed. When it came back it didnt have 32 bit color any longer. The repair guy said to download the driver for it (which I dont know how to get)

Can somebody tell me how to get the drivers for 32 bit color (some of my programs require it)

My OS is Windows XP

what will the drivers I am looking for be titled or called?

[K_Lorber]

Apparently the file was unable to install because it was corrupted I tried again and the same thing came up. What should I do?

[Retired Tech]

The Everest file?

Once installed post what it says for display / video adapter

[K_Lorber]

Yeah I cannot install the Everest thing because during installation it pops up with file corruption notices...I tried clicking ignore but it seems like the entire file is corrupt.

[K_Lorber]

I'm going to try to download Everest from another site

r sire (Softpedia) or soemthing like that.

Major Geeks is good also

I need to go somewhere for a little bit but I will be back in a little while. Please keep this thread open because I am still trying to get everest. Everest seems to be coming in as a corrupt file from all of the download sources. I have yet to try Major Geeks but I will get to that in a little bit.

[K_Lorber]

Is the IP address associated with the affected computer. If that helps at all. Do you have any rhyme or reason why the download is coming in to my computer as corrupted?

The IP address isn't a concern

Euhm.... show the desktop -> rightclick on the desktop -> properties -> Settings.

Under the image of the monitor, you can read it's name. That's even more simple than downloading something, y'know.
