Hmmm I wish I could answer your question. How can I find out ? I'm sure
it's a matter of clicking the right buttons.

For later versions (Windows 2000, for instance), you can just
right-click anywhere on the desktop (that is, *not* in any window),
select "Properties", and see your current video settings. Look at the
settings under the "Settings" tab. Think this is pretty much standard
across all versions of Windoze.

I tried several monitors but I'm still having this problem. Letters
look fine, but images (like photos on a CD) look very bad - almost
completely washed out and not good color at all. Is my video card
going bad ? What can I do to get the best image possible on the monitor
? This problem only exists when I load a disc with pictures stored on
it. Many thanks.

What is the colour depth of your graphics card, 256 colours, or 16bit
colour, or better?
