Something went wrong....

[Country Gal]

I reformatted my hard drive, and now I have no color what so ever. I only have 16 colors in my entire computer. Personally I find this very, very frustrating. If anyone had any suggestions on how to fix this, I would be very appriciative of any information you could give me.
Thanks.

Did you install graphics and chipset drivers, etc...

yep you need to find out what your graphics card is and go to the vendor website and download them... if it is a factory computer, tell us the make and model and we can find them if you need help

Yer do what they said ^, do you have a cd with drivers for the graphics card?

also if it is a retail computer (Dell, HP, Compaq) you can give us the model number on the front and we can find them for you if you cant figure it out

You can download the drivers from the manufacturer's website, but you need to know the make and model of your card.

Getting the information from Windows probably won't work because the computer doesn't know what the card is, because no drivers are installed. You'll probably have to take a look at the card.

Is your computer a pre-built or a custom built?
