i have recently installed a new harddrive and therefore had to reinstall windows 98. Everything went well, however, when I went to change the video display I could only chose between 2 and 16 colors. I also have no sound. Please help!

You need to load sound and video drivers.

Try to download the latest version of your video adapter and monitor drivers. Generic drivers often dont work 100% correctly with your hard ware.

You may need to remove all cards from your MoBo. The basic rule is: Begin with the following components;

MoBo
RAM
Powersupply
CPU
Video Card

Once these five components are functioning, add your Hard Drive.
Install your floppy Drive
install your CD Rom
Install your OS
Use the CD that came with the MoBo
Install your Sound Card
Install other Cards as necessary
Perform Windows update (If you are using Windows)
