Selection of a 8 bit per pixel (256 color) mode is not recommended for the
Windows Vista or Windows XP desktop. Many advanced applications require at
least 16 bit per pixel for proper color rendering in applications for multimedia and
gaming.
Windows Vista and Windows XP provide a Program Compatibility Wizard
which allows you to set lower color quality or resolutions for older programs that
may requires such.
To manually adjust program compatibility for older applications, right-click the
application's program icon or name on your desktop or in the Start menu, then
click Properties. Click the Compatibility tab, and then select the Run in 256
colors check box. Your monitor will revert to your default color setting when you
close the program.
