I am attempting to setup windows to use 800x600x32K colors on my
NCR 77C22E-based video card.  When I install the driver, either
through the Setup in windows, or via the windows setup program 
under DOS, and I then restart windows, I get a black screen.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Things I have thought
of are : The colors I have selected for windows don't translate
well to 32K colors, something is wrong with my video driver, some-
thing is wrong with the video card (although the drivers came with
the card and seem to be the latest ones), or what I expect is the
real problem, that I am just missing something very basic.
   Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
