In an attempt to connect my daughters computer to a wireless network I installed my mother's old hard drive which had the windows ME operating system on it. My hard drive had windows 98 and the wireless equiptment will not work with 98. Mom does not have the disks to reload ME so I figured I'd just put in the harddrive with the system on it.
Well, After installing the hard drive I turn on computer and it begins to find "new" hardware for this system. Cool...it's working.
Now for the problem...I can not get the setting to adjust beyond 16 colors. Nothing else is available. It look like when you start in Safe Mode, but it's not in safe mode.
I tried another graphics adapter and was able to adjust the screen size with that one, but no more colors available. Everything else seems to work.
Thanks for helping the new guy.

Jump to PostI had that problem with my computer at one time, but didnt put in a new hard drive. I just re-installed the graphics drivers for my computer and that worked.
Jump to PostIt definitely sound like a driver issue. What's the make/model of video card, and what driver does Device Manager indicate that the system is using for it?
