i recently installed win 98 to my computer but i only have 16 colors

plz help me

wats wrong and how do i fix itInstall videocard drivers.i don't know what video card i have

how can itell and i have a spare video card somewhere would that say the amke and model on itYou want to tell what videocard is installed by taking a completely different card that you have lying around.....? :'


Go to Start -> Run and type Dxdiag and go to the MONITOR tab to see what card is installed.have you tried going int control panel ...display...settings..
see if you can change the color choices...then LOOK in advances at the various tabstype dxdiag in the run box.. run the test.....as raptor has quoted... the  graphics DRIVER are missing... win9x installs defaults drivers...you will not get beyond 16 colours with out the driverscheck as to what version of Direct-X you have.  Try installing the latest ONE .Ussually, when computer starts, the first thing that appears on the screen is the graphic card description. If it does not, then you'll have to open the computer chase, find the video card (if it is integrated on motherboard you will find on motherboard's MANUAL) and see what is written on it. Then make a search on www.google.com or www.altavista.com and see the results.Please look at the date of the posts in the thread prior to responding to one that is 2 months old!!!
