My computer used to display High Color (16 Bit).  I took it in to have it repaired.  Now I  only have 16 colors from the Control Panel Dispaly.  Any advice out there.  Thanks.
 
Would help if repair was detailed along with system details. But first step is to check for video display card type.&nbsp;&nbsp;If standard VGA then add hardware for video display using either built in drivers or display mfg drivers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then back into display to change resolution. <p>Ed Fair<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
you may need to update your drivers, also may help to know the stuff edfair mentioned, as well as what operating system you are running on. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>
 
Also, check your resolution, if it is set to 640X480 you need to put it to 800X600 and the other options might show up.<br><br><br>Tamarin<br>
