I am working on someone elses computer, it is an intel pent2 i440 chipset family.
We reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows98 and lost the colors except for 2 and 16.
It says it is a standard pci graphic adapter(vga)I have tried to find a driver for it and tried a few from the intel site, but they would not work with the standard vga.

Alana,

What brand of computer is this ?
Is it Gateway or homebuilt or what ?
(i.e. Have you tried the site that built the computer ?)
I assume this is a video chip integrated on the motherboard ?

For example, Gateway has a driver for a motheboard they have:

Maybe you will get more responses.
Just a thought or two.

You need to find out exactly which type of on-board sound chip you have then go to a download site and download the driver for it.
This will allow all the colour options.
Try www.drivershq.com
