A few of questions:
1. What type of video card, with how much RAM do you have?
2. Have you tried other true-color color depths? Some cards
only support 32 bit and not 24 bit. Maybe Windows automatically
selects the correct driver for you. (This would fit with
Microsoft's "The user is a Moron" theory).
3. Are you using SciTech Display Doctor for Vesa 2.0? If you are,
do other high-color programs work?
