G’day Y’all
Haven't logged in for a while. Lots of catching up to do.
Small problem with W2K. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this? I moved house recently and when I connected up the ‘puter, my display had turned to B&W. The machine is used to being switched on and off, but I’ve never had this before.
I run a PII 333mhz, 512MB Ram, 19Gb C Drive (13Gb unused) and a 8Gb D drive (4 unused) as a backup. Its got CD, DVD Floppy, Zip and everything else that opens & shuts. Monitor is 19” driven by a 4Mb NVidia Riva 128/128X video Card, telling me that the correct driver is installed and working correctly.
Its an old system but enough for my needs for now.
In the display Properties box I have always used 1280 x 1024 at High Colour (16 Bit) which provides enough res for my needs. But when I switched the system on after the move it was in B&W. In fact any setting at High Colour or True colour (32 bit) gives me a B&W display – and a crappy one at that. It looks like one of those posterized metallic effects. It’s not like I touched anything when dismantling my system for the move. The only way I can get colour is at 256 which works at any of the screen res settings but looks like crap. Any advice? Or at least does anyone know a good IT forum where I can post this???
Thanx in advance.
