256 colors
I have two PB Multimedia S618 computers. I purchased the 2nd for a
backup to play around with. When I opened the case they are completely different. Just recently my hard drive let go on my original and I have had to go to the backup. My problem is that I cannot get 256 colors. My display is terrible. My only options under settings are 16 colors and 2 colors. I am using my original monitor. What should I do to obtain different color options? |

That is what controls the 256, 16, or 32 True Color options. After that right click on any space on the desk top select properties, settings and then change them to what you like. I hope that helped?

Sounds like you need to install the video drivers for the backup computer. Do a search on Google and you'll probably find a copy if you don't have them already. Rock |
