I can't figure out why I can't get past 16 color or basic 480 resolution on an AMD K6-2/350 computer running W98SE. The card it came with was a SIS 6326 AGP v1.25. All I could find on the SIS site was v1.21 as far as doing an update. I ran its setup from the D drive and it didn't fix the problem. Also tried to install the new drivers from DEv. Mgr driver update, but it said it couldn't find the required information when I directed it to D:\driver\w98
I've tried a different AGP video card, an S3Trio64 GFK 43105, but still couldn't get past 16 colors. Also tried a few different known good monitors and looked in the bios setup for anything that can be changed, so I'm looking for some suggestions.
I tried removing the AGP cards and going with some PCI cards but the screen wouldn't light up when I did this.
Would a bios update be the next logical step to try to get more color and resolution? Is there a setting that I'm overlooking in the bios setup ? Can it be an Operating System problem ? It has a fresh install from a disk that I've used for years.
It has an award bios, ROM PCI/ISA 2a5KKG5C. The chip has V4.51PG 189196937 written on it, with a sticker that says 1.06.
Thanks for any help or suggestions
