Display stuck at 16 colors

Please help- I just reformated the PC, with Win ME. I do not have the display drivers, just what ME supplied, and I have searched all day for an update, but no luck. I am not very familiar with display drivers, so I don't really know what I am looking for. All I know is my display is really grainy, and pixels are big. I have only 16 bit of color. I used driver guide tool kit to get this information, but it said I have the latest driver that they have, and windows update does not offer me any drivers.
Thanks for any help!

DL and run this EVEREST Home Edition.

Then post back your MoBO and Video Adapter info. I'll be able to help much better once I know that information.

 

Not having much luck, ran Everest home edition, and pc keeps locking up when I click on report.

 

Not helpful

 

Ok, Everest not working for you try Aida32.

Also what is your computer Make and Model, I'll research the info.

 

ME and 2000 aren't even close to the same OS. MS still supports 98, 98SE, ME for the time being. The object here is to assist the poster in resolving their problem, not to dis' them about the OS.

 

I hate ME but it's all I can fit on my sons 2 gig, 333 mhz, I would love to have win 2000, but don't have a CD. FYI, I'm a dudette....lol I have xp on all the other pc's

 

Same thing is happending with Aida...I don't have a clue why it locks up in the same place..

 

Ok, what is the make and model of the computer. S3 Trio 3D is most likely a Diamond Video Adapter.

 

It's an onboard VGA adapter. Definetly need to know Make and Model of the computer.

System Info isn't giving you the info I am looking for. Who makes the computer? There should be a data plate on the back of it that lists make and model.

 

The computer is not a retail PC, it was built for my company back in 98, not name brand-

Right before it locks up it tells me this under motherboard

Nothing under Windows Video
but under PCI/AGP VIDEO
S3 Trio3D (86C365/86C366

 

ah sorry about that, heh... Then if that's the only specs u got then ME i guess is fair enough if you don't like 98SE =P But yea is gonna be hell hunting down Windows ME drivers

 

Shadow_Puter_Dude - thanks for all your help--
Finally found the driver at driverguide.com
S3 Trio 3D 86C365 AGP
S3 - Video Adapters
S386C365AGPW98.zip

 

I like 98 much more - may end up going to that soon...ME sucks, getting sick of researching for hours looking for driver etc.....

 

Sorry, went to bed. Drivers Guide is a good site, glad you found the drivers. 98SE is definetlly better. Look around ebay, pricewatch, or ask right here in the Buy, Sell & Trade Forum. Who knows, there may be a 'Geek' willing to part with a copy of 98SE.

 

I may do that..again, thanks for your help
