Lodade ME into a P II machine and now I only have 16 bit
color. Does anyone know if there is a driver or
something that can be used to change to 256. It is on a
gateway computer

Well, you'd have to find out what kind of videocard or what kind of
motherboard (if the video circuitry is part of the motherboard) you have
and get appropriate drivers for it. Can you find a description of the
model on Gateway's site? (there may even be a complete set of drivers on it)

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.

Check that you have the latest drivers for your video card that are
compatible with ME
