ParticipantRight-click on your desktop, and click properties. Click on the Settings tab, then adjust the color quality.

MemberYou need to install the display drivers from your video card manufacturer’s website. (or the CD that came with your computer and 98)

Memberi cant find what I need…i have pci graphics adapter if that helps.

MemberWhat brand and model number is it? You should look at the manufacturer’s website for drivers.

MemberCharles, most of us probably have an AGP display adapter. Anyways, camster, look on the internet or in the manual for your computer and find out what type of videocard is in your computer.
In addition, you might find drivers for the videocard on the website of your computer’s manufacterer, or else on a driver disk that came with it.

What exactly did you do?
Why don’t you contact the manufacturer of your computer?

ParticipantRun Windows Update then look under “Driver Updates”, it will usually detect a compatible driver for your video card.
