your running powerdvd with a 1024x768 32 bit desktop setting without problems.

Don't forget to include your vid card!

Thankyou, this will be very useful.

Thanks to both of you.

Any more? How about people with Geforce MX 2 cards, can you run powerdvd in 1024x768 at 32 bit colour?

The reason I ask is that my Matrox G200 will not play DVDs in this mode, I need to drop down to 16 bit colour. Someone with a G450 had a similar issue.

I was thinking about upgrading my card anyway as a G200 looks a bit sad in such a modern system, even if it still does the job. I want everything to work in 32 bit colour mode if I buy a new card, including powerdvd. So keep those posts comming guys.........

Thanks.

dont a lot of games switch to 16/32 bit mode anyways?? i mean, the only thing you will lose 32 bit on is the desktop, so why not switch to 16bit all the time?
