    24Bit for ATI Rage XL
    « on: August 05, 2008, 04:11:22 PM »
    ok i have been looking on Google for a 24Bit Color Setting Download for ATI Rage XL graphics card but no luck. Could some one could give me a link for a 24Bit color Setting for ATI rage xl please? or does ATI Rage XL dont support 24Bit color?

    Help would be appreciated

    Here is the download page if 24 bit is not included it will not support 24bit.

    Try the 'Display Driver Bundle'--->GoHere

      maybe, just maybe, it requires Windows 95/98, and your running 2000? 2000 needs different drivers then 95/98, driver model is completely different.

        ok wait. i downloaded the proper Color Mangament Profile for my Monitor(ViewSonic Optiquest Q71) but that didnt help much but i found that everything execept for my icons were at the correct color. for example the IE Icon is dark blue(check the pic i attached) but its supposed to be a kinda skyish blue when in 16 or 24bit color. Any idea on how i can change that?

        Right Click the Desktop and go to Properties. Then head over to the Settings tab.
        Try changing the Resolutions and see what you get.

        (not sure but you may have to restart?)
