   Hi,   
      
   I have a Toshiba laptop vintage 1996 with Windows 95.  I had a problem   
     accessing the internet and reinstalled Windows 95 from my original 28   
     floppy disks which corrected that problem.  Now I can't get the monitor   
   to provide 256 colors even though before I reinstalled Windows 95   
   the system functioned fine with 256 colors. Now when I try to change   
   from 16 to 256 colors I get an error message saying my monitor will not   
   support this option. This forces me to go back to 16 colors - a real   
   lousy display.  Can anyone tell me what I can do to return to 256   
   colors.  I would certainly appreciate it.
