    256 colour driver

    Hey People,
    I've just gone and bought windows 98 SE off of ebay, installed it on to my PC (which previously had a absolutley awful version of linux installed on it). It works fine except it only gives me a choice of 2 colours and 16 colours. All of the programs I use need at least 256 colours. I'm not sure of the exact model, but I am using a Dell CRT monitor, which was previously used as a screen for Windows XP. Since I no longer have Windows XP, or an internet connection, I'm wondering what I should do to get my 256 colours, does ANYBODY know of anywhere (shop), where I can buy a 256/true colour driver? Would contacting Dell be of any help to me?

    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi and welcome to D-A-L


    it's not so much the monitor it's the driver for your graphics, we realy need the model of the motherboard/graphics card to point you in the right direction.
