Monitor Driver Installation Procedure For Windows 98
Please note that monitor drivers do not control the number of colors
you can display in Windows. They only enable Windows to recognize
the maximum resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. If you
are having problems displaying more than 16 colors in Windows, you
need to install a driver for your Video card. Contact your Video
card or Computer maker for help.
