The colors of the monitor, you know when you right click the desktop and click setting to change the colors. I want to change it to true colors, but rigth now it wont let me set it to anything but 2 colors and 16 colors. Right now i am using widows update to see if there something that needs to be updated. I had windows XP and everything was fine but i hate widows XP so installed Widows 98se. And now the colors all fucked up.

Did you get a disk with your graphics card, if so stick it in and there will probably be a setup function to install the drivers, or if not you might have to go to control panel -> add new hardware and when the option comes up select the disk as the place to search for new drivers. If you haven't got the disk check the manufacturers website for the drivers.

Don't you have a driver CD that came with your mother board? It'll have all the needed software on it or you can go to the manufacturers website and type in the model number and check updates. Same for the video card. Windows 98 doesn't come with ever driver known to man preinstalled like XP does.

because the drivers were installed before ;)

You'll be running your disks in PIO mode now and your chipset won't be doing much at all without the updated drivers for it.

Are you saying you've got a disk with graphics drivers on? If so then yeah install those drivers, you might be able to get away without installing motherboard drivers, but if you can find them its best to install them too. Graphics drivers will probably allow you to increase the colour depth, I don't know what you mean by changing the site though

To slow, it takes like 5 min to load windows xp. It takes less then 1min to load 98se. Just about everything is faster.

Also i was in the middle of Winlinux2003 and xp screwed up so i had to format it. I already had winlinux 2001 witch only works with 98 so i install 98.

i had this problem before, i had a error in my drivers and had to uninstall video drivers then, use the video drivers that came with the card on the cd. But still kept resetting, so i had to reinstall my old vid card, and restore my system. It happened after i did a hard restart after my system crashed. Took me 2 hours to try and fix the problem, and trying not to restore. But in the end i had too. What happened is that the system restored a old back up from last restore and needed the old vid card :/.
