My friend has a Win 98 SE and he says that when he starts the following
ERROR msg appears.

There is a problem with your Display settings; the Adapter type is incorrect
or the current settings do not work with your hardware.Set 16-bit thousands
colour or higher.

I am NOT sure if he has read it out to me correctly!
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks in advance

Well, Capt, have him to check his display settings. (right click the
display icon in the systray by the clock.) Change it to 16 bit or 32
bit, whichever works. I'm no expert, but hey, that's what I'd do.

There is

256 Color
High Color (16 bit)
True Color (24 bit)

and NOT what you have stated! Present setting is at High Color (16 bit)!
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks in advance

click the advanced button on the settings tab and set the adaptor refresh
rate to 'default' or 'optimal' the scanning rate settings may be beyond what
the monitor can display, check also that the displayed adaptor name is the
one fitted
