I am now using Windows ME, I just recently had my computer restored, and it now only has 16 Color Display, how can I get 256 Color Display back, that is what I was using before.
Thanks

You probably need to install the video adapter drivers

You should find these on the motherboard CD if you have onboard or on a CD if you have independent graphics

Download Everest Home here

Run it then click + next to computer then summary, look on right for display / video adapter, post the make and model or look at the manufacturers site for drivers

I dont have any type of cd, but I am going to download this Everest Home thing and try it out. How do I also install the Video Adapters?

Once you see what is shown in display / video adapter, post in the make and model

i found it, i have a Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)

[Retired Tech]

Can you make a text report of summary, remove your personal deatils then post the rest in

Standard could be linked to the name of the motherboard

Check if you have Direct X 9.0c

when i click on the video adapter thing, it comes to a thing that says: Device Description, Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA). and then down from that it says Video Adapter Properties
Device Description Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)
Installed Drivers vga.drv

Go with Windows Update and check the optional ones to look for Direct X
