Can anyone help me?!
I've recently got Windows ME installed but the displays'
all wrong. Instead of smooth colour images, my screen is
made up of dots! I've been into Control Panel, Display,
and Settings but the only option I have is 16 Colors. What
can I do?

Sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being properly
recognised, is incorrectly set-up, or is corrupted.

Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters
and Monitors and then re-boot.
WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug&Play) your video card and monitor and then
should install the 'correct' drivers.

If it still doesn't help, you'll need to install the latest WinMe driver for
your Video Card (Adapter) which you should be available to download from the
card manufacturers web site.

HTH and good luck

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
