multiple video pages?

I was having difficulty and am hoping that someone can help me. What I want to do is to load a gif image on a hidden screen and then save sections of the image into some sequences. I thought that either changing the active page or the display page while I did this would work I can't seem to find a graphics mode that supports more than one video page and supports 640 by 480 resolution. So what I want is a graphics mode that supports more than one video page, 640 by 480 pixel graphics, and preferably 256 color (although I'd settle for 16 if I had to.) So far I've had no luck. I've tried to following modes (* indicates that it does not seem to support more than one video page, ^ indicates that it doesn't seem to be compatible with my system): 18*, 19*(not 640 by 480), 257*, 258^, 259^, 260^, and 261^. Is there a mode that I overlooked? Would a mode that I mentioned above actually work, but I just didn't realize it? Is there another way of hiding something from the user without using a different active/display video page? I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.
