Only 16 colors with Chips and Technologies 65545 in win98
Hi,
I've got an old laptop, AcerNote Light 350PCX. It has a 65540/545 Chips and Technologies video card. In windows 95, I can get it at 16bit color no problem. However, in Windows 98, with the 65545 driver that comes with windwos 98 I can only get 16 colors! I tried the Chips and Technologies Super VGA driver instead and I've got 256 colors. However I can't seem to find a driver that will give me 16bit color. What can I do? I've tried all the drivers I could find on the internet and none seem to work. Is there a general driver someone can give me like a Super VGA driver that has 16bit color support? Intel seems to know this problem, and I tried their solution but it doesn't work: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/mobile/sb/CS- 011282.htm I'm lost, please help, Flaviu |

You don't mention the driver number. Is this it?

Yes, I have tried that one, doesn't work, just like the

Reboot to Safe Mode. Right Click My Computer on the Desktop (Properties)
and open the Device Manager. Click the + sign next to Display Adapters and Delete all the entries there and reboot. If the New Hardware Wizard pops up, click Cancel and continue booting to Windows. Reinstall the video drivers you downloaded from the Intel website and then reboot to normal Windows. Joe wrote in message ...

Ok, here's the deal. If I do what you said with the
windows 98 driver on the intel website or with the 98SE driver, when I finally boot into windows expecting it to work I get this message. "Windows protection error. You must restart your computer" This probably means the drivers don't work at all. I think the only driver that actually works is the Super VGA one because it actually displays info about the video card on the adapter page when it is installed unlike the other drivers of which none I can get past 16 colors or they just don't work at all.

The Windows Protection error can be caused by any number of things, and not
necessarily the driver you are trying to install. Try to install the driver in Safe Mode. Joe wrote in message ... Ok, here's the deal.

You might want to check the Intel site to see if there are updated
motherboard chipset drivers for your laptop. Joe "Flaviu" wrote in message ... I have tried. Still same problems. I have reinstalled windows 95 now since I can see no apparent solution.
