I have had to re-install windows and do a recovery due to a system crash. In doing so, I have had problems getting the monitor to look normal. The colors could not be raised above 16, and the icons were large. I finally found I could change the display.drv in sysedit to supervga.drv and make the hardward set-up also change the adapter type to Super VGA. Now I can select 256 colors, but it does not maintain it after the re-start. It goes back to 16 colors. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
