graphics mode

[Guest]

I recently installed a new game and when I click start i get an error that
says unable to set graphics mode, I have tried changing my screen size and
set color to 16 but it doesnt help. Any ideas?

You need to make sure that you do the following:

1) Install or update the motherboard chipset drivers for your motherboard.

2) Install a complete video card driver set, from your video card maker

3) Insure that the game you have installed is compatible and supports your
video card.

4) Have the correct DirectX version installed for the game (or higher version.)

The default video drivers that are shipped with XP are extremely limited.
They usually do not provide DirectX features.
