own management utility. If it does, the utility may be

the documentation that accompanies the adapter does not
provide enough information to determine if this is the case,
contact that vendor's support group for further advice.

Click on the Settings tab and check the Color
Palette. It should be set to High Color (16-bit).

16-bit color and click OK.
