I just rebooted my computer and reinstalled windows ME. Everything went smooth but I can't get my display option back to "High Color". My only option is "16 Colors"! I've tried restarting the computer with the "selective" option (msconfig), I tried changing the Desktop Theme to one that required high color thinking it would work once I restarted..... it didn't work either. What am I doing wrong???

It sounds like you need to install your video drivers. Do you know what kind of video card you have? And if not, do you know how to find out?

Go here for the drivers for your nVidia card, unfortunately I can't find the drivers for the Intel video card listed. Do you use the onboard video card or the add-in card?

[mizpac76]

I use the add in card. I'll let you know if it works! Thanks for the fast response.

Thank You, Thank You! My computer now displays beautiful High Color.
