I recently installed 98 on my pc but i can only get 2 and
16 colors running on a "Standerd PCI Graphics Controller
(VGA)" video card i am assuming. I have searched and
searched for a driver to update, but have failed. I have
only 2 hours to finish this so any replies are
appreciated quickly. Thanks much

Have you correctly identified what you are searching for? Where have you
searched? You need to know the hardware installed in your PC. You should
start your search for a driver by looking at disks that were supplied with
your system, or with the video adapter card if you have subsequently
upgraded it. Then look at the www site of the system manufacturer if yours
is a standard preconfigured system, or at the www site of the video adapter
card manufacture. If all that fails, do a general www search on the video
card make and model.

You are not looking for a driver for a Standerd (sic) PCI Graphics
Controller (VGA) - that's the driver you currently have, which is not
adequate.
