Help. I was forced to reinstall Win 98 on my 4 yr old Dell desktop after it crashed when I tried loading a new CD-rom game for my kids. I recovered from the shock of it all after finding my "recovery" cd. I was delighted that none of my files were lost in the process. The only remaining issue is that I can't seem to change the color or dimension settings beyond 16 color and 640x480. I've tried reinstalling drivers with the recovery CD with no success. My family would appreciate getting this straightend out so surfing isn't such a pain. I searched a bit online for answers but I struggled to understand half of what people wrote. It was a miracle I even found the recovery CD and got it to work, so a simple solution to this problem from someone out there would be appreciated. Thanks.
