I am having problems getting 256 colors with MS windows 3.0 with their standard VGA driver... I seem to get all of them with Compushow, Picem, etc but not with Windows! I have an HP D1180a VGA card and HP D1182a monitor that should support the 256. Any guesses on what driver I could use ino Windows in the sys.ini file to get all the colors? Right now, any .bmp or .pcx that I bring up "fuzzes" out at 16 colors. I have tried their Video 7 driver and the IBM 8514/a one with no luck. HP and Microsoft haven't been any help either!

If it uses the TSENG LABS 3000 or 4000 there are ORCHID Prodesigner drivers that should work. The PARADISE chip set also has a ton of drivers written for it. Let me know what you have.
