I recently had to reconfig my system. I do not have a start up disk, borrowed
one from a bud. I now cannot install printer, scanner etc. stating 32 bit is
required which I had before but not now. Also lost sound card. Any
suggestions? thanks

I suspect it has to do with your video setting.

Right click the desktop
Click Properties > Settings tab
If you only have 256 and 16 bit color options you need to install your video
chip/adapter drivers. Identify the chip adapter, go to the manufacturers site
and download/install the latest drivers per their instructions.

If 32 bit is present, first click the advanced button
Under the General tab make sure "Apply settings without reboot " is selected, if
not select it and click apply > ok
Back in the Settings window select 32 bit, click apply > ok out.
If the color is bad/god awful, choose whatever choice not to apply, move the
Resolution/Screen Area slider up one notch and try again.
Only accept the settings when they look proper.
You may have to readjust your monitor using its controls after applying a higher
resolution.
