   Have 16, want 256 colors

     OK, as per my previous post, got Win95 down to my old 486-33 4M laptop. I   
   have   
   an issue with the video now, though. I can't seem to get better than 16 colors   
   out of the screen, but I am pretty sure it supports 256. It's got the Cirrus   
   CL-GD62x5 video chipset, but the Cirrus Logic driver fails.   
     When I reboot into safe mode, the screen properties indicate it is at 256   
   colors, and when I first boot up, the Win95 splash comes in nice and clear, but   
   changes when the OS drops into 16 color mode. These lead me to believe I can   
   use   
   256 colors. Is there any way to force it to use 256 colors?   
     Thanks for your time.
