I just bought a Zenith 158 PC compatible with a Hercules style monochrome
hi-res text and graphics card.

My question is this-

I found out that I'm not able to run graphics (i.e. games) that were written
for the regular color card ( I get a message saying that a color card is not 
present or something like that). Is it possible to get around this? Do I have
to get a low res monitor so I can use the color card? Any ideas would be
welcome!

Thanks in advance.
