Hi, first time here, great site, hopefully you can help me with my problem and in the future I may be able to help as well.....
I have Windows 98, for some reason I cant explain all of a sudden the setting in the Settings/Display box went to 640 x 480 pixels, thats annoying, but the bigger problem is my color went to 16 colors where as before I had full color, 32 or what ever and it no longer gives me a higher color option, just 16 and black and white, also the bar you slide to change the 640 x 480 to something smaller wont slide to the right to change it anymore, the color problem is of bigger concern, needless to say its a big problem, white doesnt even look right, behind where I type this there is a bunch of dots, its really hard to read, been trying to figure this out for 2 days now with no progress, anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? I already did a virus scan and came up zero, so I dont know what else to do, can anyone help? Thanx!
