16bit color causes things to drag

[rky60]

Why is that when i run in 16bit color everything drags or sorta tile closes? Like if i minimize/close a window it'll do it in sections, even the Start menu does this. All my apps as well.....

But if i run in 32bit color everything is flawless

I only care about this cuz i like runnin a certain game in 16bit color but with other goodies set higher. But i can't use 16 if the desktop is 32

Any ideas?

A few puter specs....

ECS K7S5A
512 Crucial PC2100
AthlonXP 2100
Visiontek GF4 Ti4600 Latest Dets, doesn't matter which ones i use
TB SC Sound Card
..............

Well, it's doin this in 32bit color now to. This happens every few weeks, then just goes away. I can't think of anything i'm doin differently

It's slow enough for me to click minimize then reach up and hit print Screen

This is the problem, you have to have your desktop and game with the same color, if you run a 32 bit game, then alt tab to a 16 bit desktop, it will have to load a diff color scheme in the game, set your desktop to the color you use in games to do this right click anywhere on the desktop, click properties, then click the settings tab, then click the color that you want.
