1Can someone please help!? I did a clean install of Windows 98 SE on my Dell system. I currently have a whole host of problems, but the one I am trying resolve at the moment deals with my 17" Dell M780 monitor. Whenever I try to adjust the display settings, the only 2 options I have are 2 colors or 16 colors! All the other choices have disappeared! Also, the pixel setting is at 640x480 and won't budge to the right!!!

I've tried to install and re-install the driver but it didn't help.

Thanks for any help.
Sandra

Go to the Dell site and download the drivers for your video card. Standard VGA driver allows only 16 colors.
