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:

I'm lost, please help,

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

Graphics Driver [WIN98S600.EXE ]

Yes, I have tried that one, doesn't work, just like the
regular windows 98 Chips and Technologies 65545 drivers.

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.

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.

Thanks for trying to help,

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.

You might want to check the Intel site to see if there are updated
motherboard chipset drivers for your laptop.
