I do have the latest utility disk and there is a place to change the SVGA monitor type. I have put the NECXP17 name in there. In the Win 95 control panel I've also specified the monitor type as NecXP17. It doesn't matter what I try, as soon as I try and move higher than the 640x480 resolution, my number of colors drops from 256 to 16. It's been a real frustration. Any more clues would be appreciated. Thanks again Pat At 11:47 PM 9/18/96 PDT, you wrote: >On Wed, 18 Sep 1996, Pat Presidente wrote: > >> Note: I do have some enhanced video features. ie.
