Stuck with 16 colors and a slow internet connection. Win98
Posted: 8. Dec 2008, 00:53
After a hour of work, I finally got Windows 98 installed from my old disk. Everything in this new separate Windows 98 basically works fine. But here's my problem:
I can't seem to change the display settings. They are stuck at 16 colors and 800x600 display. My only other option is to use 2 colors. I think I might need to install new graphics drivers. (or something else) I got internet explorer running but it's real slow, gives script errors and so on...
I have an "Ati graphics drivers" CD from my old system. I tried to use that, but windows said the best driver is already installed on my computer.
I think these are the right system specs:
On my real computer I have Windows Vista Home Basic
Service Pack 1
Manufacturer: Acer
Model: Aspire M1640
Processor: Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz 2.20 GHz
Memory (RAM): 2.00 GB
System type: 32-bit operating system
When I am using virtual box's Windows 98 program the specs are:
Microsoft Windows 98
Computer: GenuineIntel
Pentium® II processor
Intel MMX Technology
1022.0 MB of RAM
File system 32-bit
Virtual memory 32-bit
(No PC card sockets installed)
