I uninstalled windows 95 and installed 98 and now I cant get 256 color on my computer only 16 every time I change it to 256 at the control panel it automatically switches back even after reseting it. Does this mean I need a new display adapter. I have a compact computer right now I am using a Q123695 Cirrus Logic adapter w/ 5402 chip set.
please help me?

Hi Thomas, hi Tammy, hi everyone,

I confirm Tammy's post: you need to install the right drivers!
(as a matter of fact, when the system is reinstalled, it's often necessary to reinstall some drivers such as display adapter, and sound and sometimes modem)

I suppose you mean CompaQ computer... go to CompaQ's Web site and you'll probably find the right drivers; or go to Cirrus' web site.

Have a nice day,
Gérard from Paris, France
