After reinstalling Windows 98 on my 300 MHz Packard Bell, my monitor will
only offer 640 X 480 resolution. The only choices are 16 colors or 2 colors.
Prior to this I had the resolution 800 X 600 and the color was great. Now it is
poor. I think I need proper video drivers but where would I get them. When I try
to change the driver it does not list any other compatible ones and it says
Windows installed the best one.

I believe the computer came with 4 MB AGP which is built on the motherboard.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Abd thanks for the help on my previous reinstallation problems. Installing in
a different directory worked.
