randar...

All what you have to do is to install the drivers of that video card.  You would have to run Windows setup from DOS, then you would select the display part and change it to select have disk from manufacturer, then make it read the video card drivers.  Once this is installed on your system, you would be up & running.

If you have difficulties in understanding the above instructions let me know, and I will post in more details.

There are no manufacturer disks that came with this card...it is the old Cirrus logic card that does not have any drivers available from the Cirrus site.  

Questions: are there any generic drivers available?
Would it be better to just purchase a new card?
Will a High Res. VGA monitor support 256 colors or do I need a new monitor?
