I will try a reboot and see if it sticks, then have a user try to save a drawing and see. Thanks for that tip!

If so, can you select the resolution at 256 colors that you're looking for? It worked on a machine I just tested it on, but I didn't test whether the settings would survive a reboot, etc. RS From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 9:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Downgrade video settings I have a critical software package that we are trying to migrate to a new server. The video requirements are 256 colors and 8 bit video settings. I am trying to go to a server 2003 R2 machine that has only high color 16 bit. Is there any way to downgrade the video to 8 bit? I know this is stupid, but it is a critical application that is on a dying server now.
