    XP Installation problem on my EPIA board

    I have a EPIA Rev. B board, (I suppose its the 5000 series, classic). It's fanless too. Anyway, I went to install XP SP2 and it installs fine but I get like 16 colors during the install and in XP after it installs. It says it found the Trident video drivers and its 800x600 with 32bit color (and I can change it to 16, 24) but I still get only like 16 colors and its all funky. The system works but the colors are weird. Anyone know why this happens, and maybe where I could find BIOS updates or drivers for this board?

    Download the drivers from EPIA's website and install those.

    And you get drivers from VIA's website. That's not unique to VIA. All motherboard manufacturers offer download sections for drivers and such.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?
