3 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoI can't access my color settings for 256 colors in Windows 98, what should I do!?
My computer recently had a virus and I brought it to the technician who installed Windows 98. It works. The only problem is when I go into settings and try to change my screen resolution to 800 x 600. The only thing I get is 16 bits and a screen resolution lower than 800 x 600. Is it possible that Windows is incomplete or needs an update to 256 colors. Everything works except the right amount of colors for displaying the graphics. I am suprised that I only have 16 bits instead of 32 or 256 colors. Thanks for your advice.

10 AnswersCarrière et emploi - Divers1 decade agoWould you be likely to hire a person who is over 55 yrs old and could still work for 10 years?
This is a Canadian question and I would be interested in hearing from people who are employed in Canada. The reason I am asking this is there seems to be a lot of predjudice against hiring older people in general as the attitude seems to be that they cannot do as well, or are not as fast as younger people, or they don't fit in an office environment, or they are too set in their ways. Do you really think people are this predjudiced? Do you think that employment agencies give more opportunities to younger than older people? I am interested in your personal opinions on the matter because jobs have gone hi-tech over the last 20 years and I was just wondering how other people feel about hiring policies.

2 AnswersDrawing & Illustration1 decade agoWhy is research in the library being ignored in favor of internet answers?
I am just curious to know why libraries have been ignored for research on any subject. Is it because, the internet is faster? Or is it because the people asking are depending on the people using the internet to answer their questions without having to do any research? Or is it because the people asking don't know where to look? Thanks for answering this question.
