miko Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 find the newest drivers you can for the card you have,install them.restart the computer (if not prompted to do so already).then make sure the graphics acceleration is turned all the way up -right click 'My Computer' > Properties > Preformance > Graphicsslide the slider here all the way to the right, mmmkay ?.restart the computer (if not prompted to do so already).Right Click on the 'Desktop' > Properties > Settingsselect your required color depth & required resolution here. then Right Click on the 'Desktop' > Properties > Effectsselect 'Show icons using all possible colors' here.restart the computer (if not prompted to do so already).that should be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
