Unhappy Graphics & Display Drivers

Can someone help me fix my display please!!
I had a hercules terminator 3d something set as my adapter but i changed it and now my diplay is in 16colours and a really low resolution. i tryied to change it back but i was unsuccesful as it kept asking me for a disk (hercules power tools disk1) I do not have this disk. Does anyone know a display adapter where i can have 1024 screen size and true colours again? please help as i cant complete my coursework without the screen display back to normal
thanx very much Don

Just go to the site below and download the drivers for the card and re-install them. The Terminator 3 only has one version available so it should be easy.

I sorry, been up all night working, so did you physically change out the Hercules card to another one? If you did you will need to identify the card or the video chipset on it. If you luck out and the new card has an Nvidia Chipset just go to www.nvidia.com and download the drivers.
If you still have the Hercules Card installed just download the drivers from the afore mentioned site. The just click on them as they are in the form of an executable file, and they will install themselves. Then restart and all should be back. There is only one driver for the Terminator 3d so just download and run it. Then you should be able to reset your display to the 1024 setting.
