my three year old got a hold of the computer mouse and messed up our color choices in display settings. The other kids are having trouble loading games due to our choice being 2 or 16 bit instead of 256color and so on that were there before. I have tried to go into the system to correct it but got nothing. What is the magic trick here?

Hello, and Welcome to DAL.

"I have tried to go into the system to correct it but got nothing."

What have you tried?

Right-click on the Desktop and choose Properties, Settings?

Device Manager?

Do you have a CD or Floppy for your display adapter?
