windows 98 resolution problems

[Fed]

Go to windows update.
You're becoming quite a computer wiz.

  i sure don't feel like one...i am at windows update ...what do i do now...lol

[Fed]

We are posting at the same time so things are getting out of context a little.
At windows update, check for updates.

it says no driver updates to install

[Fed]

On your computer go to Start>Run & type dxdiag and click OK. Read the screen & see what version of diectX you have.

[Fed]

You will also find your directX version in
Everest>Computer>Summary.

[freespirit]

Direct X 8.0...

[Fed]

8.0 will do for now.
Right click on your desktop, choose properties>settings>advanced and check your refresh rate?

[freespirit]

it says...adapter default

[Fed]

In your display settings where you adjust your resolution, what is the 'colours' drop down box set to?

[freespirit]

16 color and i can't change it

At this point you should re-install your video drivers when you get your win98 disk.
The disk is a backup just in case the new drivers don't work.
Meanwhile I will look for the latest drivers for you.
We need to find drivers for win98

You will see that these are win3.1 drivers but if you scroll down you will also see that they work with 98 too.
I would suggest downloading the file for use later.

do you mean save it instead of opening it?
