Comment:

I've recently acquired a Patriot PC, with a Canada ICES-003, class B mother board and I've upgraded the software from (win) NT4 to 2000, but now I can only get 16 colours on the display. The graphics chip is part of the mother board, so I think, I need an upto date driver for 2000, for this mother board.
Am I correct in thinking this? and where can I get such a driver?

Cheers

S

You don't have the proper display driver loaded for your video card. Go to the website of your video card manufacturer and download the latest drivers. There might be a special driver specific to the Windows NT, 2000, and XP operating systems.
This is a minor problem. Don't sweat it.
