Just a thought, but is your app putting the screen in the highest
bit depth mode available (using WinScreen() to get available depths
and then using it to set them again) at startup?

The larger question is: are you sure it's the PRC file that has
the wrong data and that you're not doing something wrong in the
app itself?

One way to verify the correct PilRC behavior is to open your PRC file using PRC Explorer on the Windows desktop and look in the bitmap families. I think the likely problem is that your app is running in 8-bit mode, as Logan mentioned.
