256 colors?

[HillBilly]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a game from 1997. The game requires 256 colors. Nothing less, nothing more. That is, I can't have more colors than 256, or the game won't run. My screen options in "properties" is either 32-bit(High) or 16-bit(Medium). Any ideas how to temporarily make my computer run in 256 colors, or fool the game to think I am?

All help appreciated.

If you're running WinXP, then you can go to "Properties", then select "Compability" (sp?) and choose "Run with 256-colors".

If you're running something else, I have no idea.

Thanks, that did it. I feel kinda stupid now.

You learn something new every day, huh.

Just curious, and probably going way out over here, but Space Quest 6?

Hmm... I assume it must be one of these. We can narrow it down by a process of trial and error.

Is it an adventure game?
