Dear Sirs,
I have an IBM Aptiva with a Windows 98 SE upgrade. It has the same monitor, CTX 1765 and adapter card,
Cirrus Logic 5446 PCI as when it was new. The colors are wrong. When I check Settings, it is set at
16 bits, 640 by 480. I change these to 256 colors and a higher resolution. I start up again and it
gives the error message:
"There is a problem with your display settings. The adapter type is incorrect or the current settings
do not work with your hardware. "
In Device Manager I remove the drives for the display and adapter. I then at the prompts reinstall them from the
Windows 98 SE update disk. I set the display to 256 colors and a higher resolution and get the same messsage.
One game, Tyrian, works. Others give the error message that they need the 256 colors setting.
I find no loose connections. What can the problem be?
