I have an old gateway. I thought I would hook it up to install and play some games. I had to reinstall windows 98 and fallowing the installation I couldn't play the games, because the color wasn't correct. I did as the computer said, and went to the control panel, displays and attempted to change the quality. However there were only two options 2-color & 16-color. Both of them are terrible qaulities and I am pretty positive before reinstalling windows 98, the color was fine. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you reinstall our vid card drivers, you might have more colors availible. Win 98 was 16 bit (high color) by default so its not win 98s fault. If you reinstall the OS, you also have to install the systems drivers

I have done this dozens of times. This means you do not have the correct video card driver installed, which is sometimes called the display adapter driver.
To locate the correct display adapter driver, you will need to know the make and model of video card, and then locate it online, unless you were smart enough to make a backup first.
