1.Identify the motherboard manufacture and the chipset series from the Manuals or use software like siso sandrosoft\n\n2.Go their site and download the appropriate drivers from their site.

Whoa. Haven't been deep into a 95 operating system in a while.  Not sure if I remember the paths to take.\nFind Control Panel, and and open up Printers.\nRight click on the printer in question and select properties.\nThere may be several tabs to explore, including color management.\nBUT, look on the general tab first, and see if there's a button to click on that says something like "printing preferences", and explore that one.  That may open another window where there's a color tab. There may be a setting in there that's set to "grayscale" or "black cartridge only".

As far as I'm aware they'res not. There are generally settings on the actual monitor for stuff like that. Those settings are independent of the computer or the video card

well you may have deleted the graphics<video> card installation by mistake...try installing the card's software again from its CD...\nyou may have to change your display properties...\nOpen Display Properties in Control Panel. \nClick the Settings tab. \nIf you are using multiple display support, click the icon for the monitor whose settings you want to change. \nIf you are not in safe mode, try each of the following steps. (In safe mode, these settings are already set to minimum values.) \nIn Color quality, click a lower setting. \nReduce the size of your desktop by moving the Screen Resolution slider to the left. \nClick Advanced, and check the Adapter and Monitor tabs for a Refresh Frequency setting. If this setting is available, choose a lower refresh rate or use the default setting for the adapter. \nAfter you make your changes, or to accept the safe mode settings, click OK. Restart your computer if you are prompted to do so. Do not select Safe Mode. \n Note\n\nTo open Display Properties, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.\nif it won't work ...you should send it to a computer maintenance store....good luck

Check your Monitors manual for instructions on how to access the built in menu system. Often its obvious like a big menu button on the front!\nAnyway since you don't describe exactly what you mean by light I would suggest trying to reduce the contrast a little and or the brightness.\n\nIf this doesn't give you satisfactory results some graphic cards have system software which allows you to configure the brightness and gamma controls for the video output.\n\nJohn

Actually, it's more likely that your monitor can't handle it.  If there were a problem with the video card, I suspect the driver wouldn't let you select the higher resolution.  Is your monitor very old?   I suggest looking up the specs in the manual, or the manufacturer's web site.

install the graphics driver, you have that on your mother board cd. then install it, and go to right click properties, setttings, and have there 256 colors, but remember 256 colors is less than 32 bit of color, i.e. 256 color is = 24 bit color.

when you're changing your setting from the desktop properties, as you've written, you'll have to adjust to the level you want then click on APPLY and then click on OK. If it's still showing you the wrong settings after reboot, that means that your graphic card or the monitor itself are not capable of showing those settings.

For some video cards, there are settings where you can make certain colors appear more vibrant than others. Check your monitor settings in Control Panel -> Display -> Advanced.

Yes check in my computer, Display, make sure it is 16 Bit Color, hit apply. If not fixed go to the monitor buttons & hit Deguase, Re-start computer. Still doing the same thing,\nunplug your monitor, allow 2 min. plug in & re-install using setup CD. Do it in that order.

this issue may occur if the desktop resolution is selected to low or the driver of the display is deleted or not installed.\n\nselect the resolution of the display at 32 bit. visit the following web site\n\nhttp://www.helpwithpcs.com/tipsandtricks/changing-screen-resolution-win-xp.htm

right click on desktop and choose properties, setting tab,\nchange it to 800x600 or lower, 256 color or lower, to try what's the low end max resolution and color bit acceptable to the game.

There may be something wrong with the monitor if that doesn't work. One other option you may have. Look on the monitor itself.  There should be some buttons on it. When you play with those it should take you into a menu that will allow you to adjust the colors. I have had monitors that seem like they are going out but have been able to restore the colors enough to make me happy by just adjusting the hues on the monitor.

Check your display settings (accessed under control panel)

If you can't push it past the 24-bit mode, then your current video card does not support 32-bit colors.  I doubt very much that it is your monitor but it's possible however unlikely that it is your monitor.  I think all bets are on your graphics card.  You will need to get a new graphics card but you don't have to spend tons of money.  Two of my favorite middle end cards are the Radeon 9550 ($48), Geforce 6600 ($105) and Geforce 6600GT ($113) and which one you buy depends on your budget but the 6600GT is by far the best value for the money.
