256 color palette

[Guest]

Hi all
A friend is having problems with some games and educational cds not being
able to be played/installed on her computer- and yet when I try them on this
computer, they install fine. Both run XP.
When you insert the cds, a message comes up along the lines of “… runs only
in 256 color palette mode only ….. set up the display modeâ€
She has had a new gforce 128 video card installed and this hasn’t helped
with the problem. I have tried to play around with the dispaly settings but
no go.
Any ideas??

Thanks in advance,
Cheers, Jon
