good... info
sounds like the card got fried, have there been any storms or surges lately?

did you get a warranty with the card? if so how long was it for. this problem could be a product defect or a refund/replace worthy issue you should call the customer support and tell them about this. if they agree to refund go buy a replacement and install but they may want to have it shipped back for repair, this could take a few weeks for return but it may come with an updated warranty.

ps isnt 4 bits just shades of gray?

Try uninstalling the drivers, shutting the machine down, reseating the card and then re-installing the drivers?

I think 4 bits is 256 colors, but I'm not sure. There have been 2 bad storms where I live in the past week, and both times our power went out, but I made sure to unplug the computer before they hit. I tried reinstalling my old card, and it worked, but I still want to know what happened to the new one, since it should have lasted longer than six months.

Go into the Display Properties (under Control Panel), then click on the Settings tab.

Post up what it says under the "Display:" line.
