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?
