Hi Guys..

.. P2 Running Win98
.. Screen: 17 " Fijitsu Siemens Sceinicview 772-1
..onboard display Adapter: ATI Rage 128 vr

Problem: Cant adjust colour and display setting.

My machine is stuck on 16 colours. when I change it it asks me to restart. When I do its back on 16 colours.

Also when I try and change the colour scheme, to Windows Standard
or any other setting the computer("Display Properties has stoped Responding") Freezes and when i reboot Im still stuck on the old setting.

Dont know what caused this problem...

.. I.ve tried the following:

..Replacing the actual monitor and Changing Monitor in Display properties
..Removing & Reinstalling the display adapter in >MyComputer>Properties>DeviceManager>

nothing works... please help?

You need to reinstall the drivers for the particular adapter in use.

Try this one:
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/9...gacy-98me.html

The very top "bundle" (27+ MB).

Thanks for the link...

... didnt work though,

>> on intallation says driver is not compatible and quits...

.. tried searching other drivers. not much luck...

... any other ideas by any chance>>
???

Download, install, and run Everest Home Edition on this machine. (Clean FreeWare) Once it's finished loading and running, look under

(Display)
Computer, Summary, Display, or under Display, PCI/AGP Video. This will tell you what display adapter/chip you have. Post that information. (Video Adapter and 3D Accelerator.)

Thanks, this helped and I managed to get a driver that works...

... Many thanks

Good news. Glad you got it sorted.
