36488	2002-02-21 01:09:00	I can not get my display to change from 16 colours. I has a fault 'unable to find sys.ini' and managed to partly recover by starting windows (98) in safe mode. I have managed to fix most of thea ssociated problems but can not get my display to go beyond 16 colours and 640x480. I have tried reinstalling windows 98 and downloading the latest (RIVA) video card drivers but the display settings still dont change. Any suggestions please?	Guest (0)

I'll try the suggestion from Gerard in case it is one that I missed but every time I alter either the monitor or the card drivers or the display settings, the restart just changes them back to 16 colours etc. Mine is a Riva card too.
