- I am attempting to setup windows to use 800x600x32K colors on my
- NCR 77C22E-based video card. When I install the driver, either
- through the Setup in windows, or via the windows setup program
- under DOS, and I then restart windows, I get a black screen.
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. Things I have thought
- of are : The colors I have selected for windows don't translate
- well to 32K colors, something is wrong with my video driver, some-
- thing is wrong with the video card (although the drivers came with
- the card and seem to be the latest ones), or what I expect is the
- real problem, that I am just missing something very basic.
- Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
