[RBASE-L] - Re: Strange colors in XP

Karen,   To be certain the driver is loaded properly.. I would right-click My Computer>Properties>Device Manager>Display Adapters (in the right pane)... select and delete the driver for the display.  Click on the topmost object(which would correspond to the name of your computer) then right click and select Scan For Hardware Changes.  This will reload the Driver (Which BTW, I would go to the Windows Update from IExplorer and see if XP shows any updated driver for the Video before doing this)....   It's worth a shot ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 10:27 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Strange colors in XP Bill: Actually, when I choose "settings" from the desktop properties, I'm already at the highest setting, which is "highest (32 bit)".  For the heck of it, I lowered it to 16 bit and got the same problem. Karen Also right-click on a blank space on your desktop, choose properties, and then choose the "Settings" tab. See if you can change the "Color quality" setting to a higher setting. When I fiddled with the individual icons and the "run in 256 color setting," this setting got set down to 8 bit, and made everything else ugly. Bill
