Suddenly stuck at 256 colors
Greetings;
Running Win2KPro..... After doing a couple of software upgrades over the weekend including the new Trillian Pro 3.0, my All-In-Wonder 128 is now stuck on 256 colors. Also, when I try to access the TV I get the error message: "The TV Player failed to initialize the video. Ensure the correct video drivers have been installed and close any applications which may be playing video such as DVD or WebTV before attempting to restart TV." Of course the Adapter Properties says "This device is working properly." Bleeech I have: 1) Uninstalled the upgraded programs (later reinstalled older versions) 2) Uninstalled ANYTHING I could think of that would create/use video, including the web camera software and Real Producer 3) Uninstalled and reinstalled the video card, drivers and MMC in both standard and safe mode 4) Purged the registry of anything that said ATI 5) Rebooted and/or powered down and unplugged the power cord more times this month than in the past year Despite all this, Display Properties Settings says I'm at 1024x768 32 bit color, but in reality I'm at 256 colors. No amount of changing, applying, rebooting seems to solve the problem. Can anyone offer any other insight or something I may have missed? TIA -- Jeff Bailey jeff[at]baileyjs.com www.baileyjs.com My System Info: Win2k Pro, Soyo K7VTA Pro, AMD Duron 900mhz, 768MB ram, ATI All-in-Wonder 128 video card, Opera 7.54u1, Firefox 1, Agent 2.0, Trillian 3.0, Zone Alarm, AVG Anti-Virus and a lot of other crap. |
