SVGA Driver
Hi there,
I just re-formatted my hard disk and re-installed 98, and now am having real trouble getting my display to register anything above 16 colors. before the re-install it was - I think - displaying true color, and I foolisly forgot to make a note of the display adapters driver. Windows automatically installs the Standard PCI VGA display adapter driver, but obviously this is insufficient Any help as to what I may need greatly apreciated. I'm running 98 on an Intel x86 machine, with a Di-fusion e700 monitor. Unfortunately, as this machine came from an office and I am yet to open the beast up, I do not know what make the display adapter is. Thanks in advance mo |

Try using Everest Home Edition from www.lavalys.com to find out what make/model
video/display adapter you have. Use that to find drivers. If you need help figuring out where to get your drivers, post back with make 7 model, etc. -- Gary S.
