i just reinstalled windows 95 and everything is blocky and in display it says 16 color only?? How do i change the resolution back to normal? its greyed out and i cant change it back! please please help! Sarah
You need to install the correct drivers for your video card. Windows installs the standard VGA driver, which allows only 16 colors. You may need to look inside case to determine make and model of video card. A program like Belarc could also be used to identify your card.

Sarah,
After you figure out which video card you have, go here Drivers to get your driver.
Log in using "drivers" for user name and "all" for the password. (No quotes, of course.)
Go the the column on the left andd select the Basic Search. In the first box put the name of your card, like Creative SVGA or whatever it is.
Then fill in the boxes from the drop downlists and at the very bottom select your operating system.
Download the driver, expand the file if it is compressed and then reinstall your driver.
Reboot
Larry

ive found the driver(i think)(im blonde!) how do i install?!
Installation varies with different video cards. Post the make and model video card and someone may be able to help you. Generally, the driver is changed by clicking on "display" in control panel, then "settings" and "advanced" and "adapter". Click "change" and select "have disc". Change to location of new drivers. HTH
