 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!

Thanks
