Can't get more than 256 colors
On my computer, I can't seem to get more than 256 colors for the screen. I go to the desktop properties and settings and the only choices are 16 or 256. When I click on the update driver button, it eventually comes back telling me that I already have the best driver in there. I then tried something that had worked for me before on another computer, which is to remove the display driver and restart the computer, but it ends up just re-installing and having the same problem as before.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Also, have you tried lowering the resolution? some old cards with small memmory aren't able to give high colors at high resolutions.

oops, sorry LucF. In the past when I've submitted questions I would get an e-mail when someone responded to it, but not this time. I was checking to see if anyone had replied, and sure enough a bunch of times, but I never got the usual notification. I'll have to look into that. So sorry if I appeared ungrateful, because I do appreciate the time people take to submit a suggestion. I will try the above suggestions and accept the appropriate one. Thanks!

Oops. Sorry. I forgot all about this one. My boss had gone ahead and bought a new computer before I ever had the chance to see if any of the above solutions would work (just as well as the computer was so old it had a piece of paper inside it that said "Inspected by Barney Rubble"). So I just split all the points to those kind enough to respond. Hope that's okay.
