I have a Standard PCI Graphics Adaptor(VGA) on my COMPAQ PREASRIO 5722 having a COMPAQ MV 920 Monitor . However, the display only shows 16 colors and not 256 colors. Can someone help? Do I need a SVGA driver to show 256 colors and if so where do I get it? The COMPAQ website is a jungle. I am running Windows 98 Second Edition

You will need to find and load the correct driver for the video card installed in your computer. Standard VGA is a default generic driver installed by windows when you do not have the correct driver to install. Go to windrivers.com, You will need the model and serial # of your Compaq computer, and search Compaq driver site.

Hmmm. This seems an awful lot like the post four down, but under a different name (OK, truth be told, it's an exact copy). Follow the directions I gave there, and report what you find.

Need 256 colors for monitor SIS. I lost it when I had to reload Windows 98.
