You need to download new drivers for your video card and monitor.  I have no idea what kind of Dell you have, but you should be able to go to their web site and look it up based on either the label on the computer or the Service Tag # or whatever it's called.

Sorry I can't help, but try www.justlinux.com, they should be able to help.

if the previous answers will not help, right click on destop then properties-settings-advanced, increase the DPI settings

You may need a color program balance the sharpness of your DVI connection I use a program called Natural Color which came with my monitor. It sounds like the sharpness of your monitor needs to be adjusted.  Also DVI is brighter than analog.

Most likely it's getting Old...You can try to correct this with you screen settings via you Video card...First try you gamma setting, contrast, brightness...but as cheap as Monitors are now, you better off getting a New LCD flat screen monitor anyways...

There may be something wrong with the monitor if that doesn't work. One other option you may have. Look on the monitor itself.  There should be some buttons on it. When you play with those it should take you into a menu that will allow you to adjust the colors. I have had monitors that seem like they are going out but have been able to restore the colors enough to make me happy by just adjusting the hues on the monitor.

Bitwise shifting is taking the bits and moving them up or down a few spots in the byte.  For example, if you have the value 27, you represent it in binary as this:\n\n00011011\n\nNow shift all the bits left by two, and you get:\n\n01101100\n\nwhich is the binary equivalent of 108.  So the first thing you should notice is that we've multiplied our original value by four.\n\nIn most cases, there's no need to do this.  It is conceivable that if you have a high-performance application, shifting the bits around might get you some performance gain over multiplying a value, but more often you would use this when you want to pack several values into one location.  Suppose you have a word (four bytes) and you want to store a color value with red, green, blue, and transparency values, each of one byte, in it.  One way you could do it is like this:\n\nword w1 = alpha << 24;\nword w2 = red << 16;\nword w3 = green << 8;\nword w4 = blue;\n\nNow we have each of our bytes in the correct position in a word, all by itself.  So to store them all together in a single word, we just have to OR our new values together:\n\nword result = w1 | w2 | w3 | w4\n\nNow you have all your RGBA values stored in result.

That is on the video card. before you update the hardware, have you tried to install the latest drivers? (often times N-vidia will give the capability of better color options in newer drivers. Im sure ATI does the same thing)\n\nif not, find your make and model of your card and go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have the latest driver for your card and OS\n\n(note: you mentioned that you are on win 98. microsoft is set to end support for it in early july.)

I had a similar problem. One of my friend advized me to go to MS dos and type scanreg /restore; I got 4 options. He asked me to select the 3rd or 4th. I did and then followed the on screen instructions. I then adjusted display setting color resolution to true color, and 600x480 to 800x600. It is working well now. Please dont ask me more. I am not a computer savvy.

The game probably functions in a different mode, perhaps 16 bit? Your computer automatically adjusts for playing the game, You should be able to switch it back in settings.

Your resolution has been changed.\n\nGo to Control Panel, Display, Settings and set it for 1280 X 1024 and 32 bit color.\n\nGood Luck

WinXP?\n\nDesktop-->Appearance--> "try using silver here" but I know there is a way to customize the color scheme around here\n\nalso go to\nControl Panel-->Display-->Settings-->Advanced Button-->Color Management: From here you can choose a color profile for your comp. You can make them too make a grayscale.

64 bits set in code unfortunately

actually tlb5859's suggestion is better.  That should keep you from having to change your color settings every time you play the game and close it.\n\nRight click the game link, go to Properties.  Click the Compatibility tab, select "Run in 256 colors"  Click okay.  Shoule be good to go.

I assume you've updated all fixes and patches, and are still getting either a divide by zero or insufficient memory error.\n\nHave you tried rightclicking the icon and tinkering with the compatability settings. Sometimes that does the trick.

It depends how many you put there.... You could for instance have an 8-bit grayscale JPEG, or a 24-bit full-colour JPEG. The bit depth isn't fixed.\n\nRawlyn.

right click on your desktop go down to properties click on it\ngo to \nsettings and look at color quality it will say 32 bit or 64 bit
