So I just got a new machine and I've installed Windows XP on it (I bought the OS seperate because the machine came without one.) Everything seems to be up and running just perfectly fine.. it's just that my colors cannot go about 4bit. Do I need to install drivers? I've included an Everest full report. Thanks!

More than likely, no. How would I do that?

Is it a Dell 4300

Did you get a motherboard CD

[saraface]

No. It is a Compaq. The man who sold it to me didn't mention that I would need a motherboard CD. Like I said, everything else works great. The colors are just messed up which leads me to believe i am missing video drivers. I just don't know which ones or how to read Everest correctly.

Run Everest, click + next to computer then summary, look on right for display / video adapter

How is the sound

[saraface]

The video adapter is Intel Extreme Graphics.

It says there is no sound device installed.

I have just discovered that Everest is actually linking me to downloads for the drivers I need. I couldn't have done it without you because I had no idea what I was looking for. Thanks for all your help!!!

Okay.. here's a new one for you. I don't know which driver I need to get my sound to work.
