Welcome to Windrivers Goatimus

You haven't loaded the video driver ... oh and that's 16 colour, not 16bit - if it were 16 bit you would not be complaining


go here and scroll down to On-Board VGA Driver section, you want the file for SiS630/630S/630E/630ET/SiS730S chip

Download it, unzip it and then go into device manager, click on the pci vga adapter under display adapters, click the driver tab, click the update driver button and follow the wizard - browse to where you unzipped the drivers so that windows can find them.

It will probably want the 98 disk as well, and it may ask you for a file it cannot find on the 98 disk - point it to the unzipped files you downloaded. Often 98 gets confused about which files are where.
