Hi all,

My Brother BC7486 PC has a NCR 77C22E VGA chipset intergrated into the motherboard.
Games like Tomb Raider and Pirates: Gold work great at 640x480 @ 256 colors under DOS with one of those VESA extension TSR programs, but Windows is stuck at 16 colors.
I tried SciTech Display Doctor, I tried the standard Super VGA driver, and from what I can find this card doesn't officially support Windows 95.

Does anybody know how I could get Windows 95 to run at 256 colors?

Thanks

I tried SciTech display doctor 5.3a as well -- it tells me the NCR SVGA 77C22E chip has been detected but isn't supported by SciTech

Maybe it will work with the windows 3.1 drivers which you can find here?

Failing that, install Windows 3.1, then the drivers, then upgrade windows from 3.1 to 95.
