Recently my comp was pretty messed up so i just decided to wipe it. when i went to put my os on it all i had was 98 and i cant get anything new. before i wiped it it has like 32 bit true color or somthing and now its stuck at 16 colors and 640x480 res. ive tryed switching adapters but the only one that works is the standard PCI graphics adapter (VGA). how can i make it go back to good color settings?

Well it's pretty simple. You can't change resolution/colours because of Windows 98 not knowing your graphics adapter, so it is using a compatibility mode. You have to get WIndows 98 compatible drivers for your adapter :-| . Open Device Manager and look there, then do a google search for the driver you need :)
