Color control setting workaround

Hi, I am working on an elderly persons computer and have a question. I
formated a Win 98 SE machine and did a clean install of Windows Me per the
owners request. My question is this: What DOS command can I enter to change
the video color setting from 16 bit to 32 bit. For some reason I can't
change the setting via the control panel Display settings window. The option
to change the setting is greyed out. The desktop and all pictures are all
fuzzy and the owners eyesight is bad enough already!! Any help would
greatly be appreciated.

You cannot do this from DOS!

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.

If not, then update the Video drivers from the manufacturer's website
