Hi,
This is video card problem, not the monitor. Try to reinstall video card driver.
Good luck, Igor M

I used to have 256 colours, then I reinstalled Windows '95 and now I have 16 colours. I tried installing the disk i have labeled 'VIDEO DISPLAY ADAPTER' but it doesn't work.
Can you please help?

Had a similar problem with an onboard video adapter. Turns out that I had to use the Windows '95 driver instead of the 98 driver.

I have windows 95 installed and I have lost 256 colors.I have video adapter named s3trio64v2dx.Windows is unable to search the specified adapter.My monitor is CASPER.Please help!

I reinstalled Win 98 and have also lost 256 colors. I have a S3 Trio 32/64 video card.
It won't let me change colors back.
How can I fix it? I have a Viewsonic 4E monitor.

Does anyone have a Windows 95 driver for the
S3 Trio 32/64 PCI display adapter? Have tried S3 itself, including their ftp site, but they
don't seem to even mention this old card.Many people seem to have the same problem...
Thanks,
jim

i lost the same thing. i need to know how to get it back, cause you lose to internet expierence. HELP!!!

Is there anyone out there who has a solution to this problem? All I read is people telling they have the same problem.
Luc

I had the same problem...And tried everything
. The thing to do is buy you a new Video Card the software is in there and your problem will be solved. I tried everything believe me. Best Buy has the Voodoo3 2000pci for 100 dollars with a 30 dollar mail in rebate. The cheapest I have ever seen. Durham, NC

I was able to get around the problem with the 65545 on the Extensa 510 laptop by installing the Chips & Technology Super VGA driver instead of the one Windows was trying to install. That gave me 256 colors.

Has anyone solved this yet, I have the same problem!!!! I can't believe so many people have this problem

I installed a Voodoo to my computer and now the color got screwed up. I downloaded some s--- before and it worked but now I dont remember that to look for. Please help in any way possable.and if possable find a site that i can download that from bcause i have beel looking for a while and can't find anything!

I too lost 256 color, now only 16 color, when I reinstalled W98, please help me. I know there must be an answer somewhere

I've lost my 256 color, only have 16 bit.
I'm using a dell ultra scan monitor. I'm alos using Win98. Please Help!

HERE IS THE ANSWER! YES, FOR SURE, THE ANSWER! And the winner is.....Erik Wolfner. Read his posting of September 17, 2000 at 18:43:35 in which he describes the solution.....tricking windows into utilizing a chips and technology driver different than the one it tries to use. I had this same problem a year ago and cured it the same way....but only after some extensive internet searching....and a little help from the Microsoft Knowledge Base (which I couldn't live without!!!!) If you search the MS Knowledge Base today you should find this to be such a common problem that the solution has become standardized to the point where there are instructions for debugging dependent upon ones operating system.

help me! before i kick my comuter i need 256 colors if u know where i can find send me on my email roeimayo@hotmail.co.il

so im not the onlyone in the world i have the exact same problemb as all of you and it is frustrating as hell!! Im gonna try the windows knowledge base Like Aaron said. let ya know if i find the answer
