Windows Me not runing 16bit 640 x 480

Hi

I just put in windows Me for the first time in Virtualbox on my Mac. All I would like to do is run Star Trek Armada 2 on it, but when I try to install it it says that "requires 16 bit color" and a screen size of 640 x 480. I check the settings and they say that's what there already on. Did I do something wrong? I've seen other post where people got this game to work but no one seems to have had my problem, all though I have a strong feeling my problem is me. Any help would be great thanks.

Note the subtle difference in terminology. "16 color mode" is very different from "16 bit color mode". The former uses 4 bits per pixel, which was the default on Windows ME until you installed better graphics. "16bit color mode" uses 16 bits per pixel, which allows 65536 different colors (substantially more than 16!).

See the Howto section for how to install Win98/ME using the BearWindows VESA graphics drivers.
