hey all,
I've been building up an onld comp, just for the fun of it and i had all the parts so it hasnt cost me any money Its an old AMD K6 clocked at 500mhz. anyways i've got windows 98 on it and have pretty much set it all up, the only problem is, its stuck in 16 colors! every time i try to change it to 256 or 16 bit it asks to restart so i do that. but then it stuffs up when restarting, after the windows loading screen i get a black screen with just a '_' flashing and a quick blue flicker in the screen and then it stays like that like its stalled. I've got all the lates drivers for the TNT 2 card and i also put on direct X 7 hoping that might chagne somehting but it didnt. any one got any ideas what the problem is. I'm not completely sure its a hardware problem but yeah, i dont got any ideas, can anyone help?
