ok, this is my story:
recently i found good old Win-Lemmings in a corner of my harddisk. i thought, "yeah, give it a try after all those years"...ok, i started up, and got a warning about my video settings: something about that Win-Lemmings would prefer 256-color-mode and that my current setting is only 1-color-mode (!!)...actually i was running in 16-bit-colors...
ok, i didnt care about that silly message, clicked it away and started a game. after 2 minutes my computer froze, and i had to do a cold restart.
ok, i log in, enter my desktop and suddenly it all turns to grey. yes, my whole desktop was now colored in a grey-scale. UGLY! i tried different color-settings, but everything above 256 colors just turned into a grey-scale!! i have absolutely NO clue what i can do about this. it seems as if the win-lemming application somehow locked my color-settings. 256 colors works, but thats no option.
i have a rather old video card, a STB Velocity with the Riva 128 chip. my OS is Win2K SP2 with DirectX 8.0a installed. i wasnt able to install any other video-driver because i didnt find any...only the built-in velocity-driver.
i tried deleting the video-card and let win2k search again for it, but that didnt help -> same problem. i also deleted all registry-entries from winlemmings, no success!
so, anyone has a clue whats the cause of all this and how it can be reverted?
thx a lot...
