Well the good news is that ive re-installed windows 98 !

) I changed the boot order via bios to boot from the cd drive first instead of the hard drive and it worked! The windows cd was detected and ive re-installed a nice new fast windows !

The bad news tho is that my graphics are in 16 colour mode!

(
Ive obviously tried to change em to 256 colours via display settings but there no colour option eccept 16 coulors!!!
I know for a fact my graphics card suports 256 coulors as it use to display em before the format and windows re-instalation!!!
Does any one know how to get the 256 colours back please? Again theres no option in the display setting ONLY to have 16 colours.
