the problem with that is you have to reboot most of the time, so the
solution is to get the freeware from microsoft (i think) called PowerTools
98 or actually 95, included is a piece of software called quickres that
allows you to make changes to your display settings without having to
reboot.
if anyone is having a problem finding it i will post it at my homepage.

Has anyone been able to get rid of the annoying message concerning 256
colours?
More to the point, every time I exit the Mindstorms software, my system
colours are set at 256 colours and I have to change back to my original
setting of 32 bit colours.
Any ideas as to how this can be avoided please?
John.


John,

     i don't know how to avoid this message, but to minimize the
inconvenience, i put a shortcut to "display" at my desktop so i can go
straight to the color settings.

I believe the product you are looking for is PowerToys. I don't see a need to change the colors unless performance is greatly affected, so just ignore the message. Sorry if this was already said, I just don't want to read all of the posts. (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)
