The Hindu Business Line : Redoing the colour setting

I have loaded a game called Quake, after which my windows XP colour setting has gone wrong. I couldn't get it back to its original condition. Would you please suggest a solution?

Generally, when you play a game, it would reset your screen resolution as needed by the graphic used in the game. When the program is quit, it resets the resolution to the original set by you.

Your resolution may not get reset to its original settings for various reasons like abrupt program termination. You could try setting the resolution by right clicking on the desktop and selecting properties.

In the display dialog box, take the settings tab. In the colours dropdown list box, select the colour setting usually 24bit or 32bit and set the resolution to your requirement, generally 800 X 600 and click ok.

If you find only 16bit or just 256 colour in the colour setting, drop down. Probably your display drivers are missing or have got corruptted.

In that case, please do the following. Click on advanced, then select the adapter tab select properties and click on update driver, follow the wizard which appears and you will have the display driver reinstalled.
