OK, I've been given the task of fixing a colleague of my mum's computer that is (ney, was) FUBAR'd.
I've formatted the HD, reinstalled Win98 and Office and it's all running fine. However, for some reason I can't change the display adapter for the standard VGA adapter. This means it's stuck in 640x480 and 16 colours.
The PC is a bit of a dinosaur (Cyrix 333, 32Mb Ram and onboard graphics and sound). In the bios I can change the memory dedicated to the display from 2-4mb.
I may be being really dim here but I can't find out what driver I should be using to enable higher resolutions and more colours. I know it's a rubbish system but sureley it can do better than 16 colours!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
