The day before yesterday I had Windows XP installed on my computer. Then I had a terrible crash and could not log in even in safe mode. So I installed Windows 2000 over it and now it finally works again, but after I got it to go onto the internet I went to properties to change the bland colors, but the drop down only had an option of 16 colors. I've had to find a way to have 24/32 colors with Windows 98, and it seemed easier for some reason. I've serched Google, Software Tips and Tricks, Drivers.com, Dell.com ect and nothing has helped me to figure out what I need to do. So I made an account here to see if anyone can help me, because I have no clue what's going on.
Long story short, I've tried almost everything to access 24 or 32 colors. I don't care which one, just more than 16. Below is a pretty hefty analysis of my computer if it helps, so any links or sugestions would be very appreciated. Thank you!!

Usually when that happens it means that you don't have GFX Card Drivers installed on the machine.

I realize this, but I don't know where to access one. It says I have a default monitor on VGA, but every drivers website I go to offers ways to identify your currently installed driver, not a driver to install. I looked inside my computer at the model name and it says Channel Well Technology, and that still didn't help. I need a link

Do you know if you have an Onboard Video or a card in either the AGP or PCI slot for graphics?

If it is onboard try this -> http://driverscollec...K7VTA-B&By=SOYO

If it is in PCI or AGP remove the card and see if it has a manufacture name and product name on it, eg ATI / Saphire 9600
