only one option for color display

I reformatted my hard drive to get rid of unwanted junk and planned on using
it for my kids stuff. I re-intalled Win 95 but now when I go to the display
properties, there is only one color option when I had three (16 bit, 32 bit,
256) before I reformatted my drive. How do I restore these choices.

you need to install the video drivers for your card...
you need to first identify the board
(either look at it or use a utility such as hwinfo32)
then you can get the drivers from the mfg's website
or more than likely www.driverguide.com
