    need help finding right video driver

    i just got my computer working again. its windows ME, but the colour has been reduced to 16 colours, but it used to be true colour. I have tried tirelessly but cant find the right drivers for it.

    Video Adapter Standard PCI Graphics Adaptor VGA
    SiS 86C306
    Monitor Compaq MV520

    any help would be greatly apreciated.

    If you came with pre-loaded software you should have a backup CD for reinstalling device drivers and utilities etc.

    Maybe you could find help there?

    Also, have you tried Windows Update to see if there is one available there?

    You could download Everest from here http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?lang=en its free. It will probably give more info on the video adapter so we can help find the right drivers.
