Icons showing in 256 colors
Hi all,
I've been using this computer for a few years now and a couple weeks ago, it started showing select icons (usually the ones that are a little fancier (IE6, Illustrator 10, Corel 10)) in a lower color range than normal. At the same time, Diablo II quit running for me. Says it can't load DirectDraw. I have messed with every video setting I know how to, reinstalled the driver for the video card (a Diamond Stealth III S540), scanned for viruses and even reinstalled W2k over itself. Is this a sign of a video card going bad or has Windows just completely freaked and I'm going to have to reformat or have I gotten a virus that Norton can't see and I'm going to have to reformat? Any advise is appreciated. Jason
