Boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 at boot. Remove the display adapter from the system applet in Control Panel and reboot. Let the system try to boot normally. When Windows starts and tries to detect the video card, install the latest drivers available for Win98se. Reboot once more. If the adapter is properly installed, at this point, you should be able to set more than 16 colors (VGA) and you should be OK. If not, post a comment with your results and we can do some other troubleshooting.
