Rise of Nations: Gold Edition Problem

[Guest]

I've installed and tried to use RONG but am having difficulties. After I
open the program and am led through the opening cinematics, I receive an
error message that says "Rise of Nations cannot run with the monitor display
mode set to 256 colors. Please change monitor display to 16-bit color or
greater." The problem is that my monitor display is currently in 32-bit
mode. I even tried to lower the setting to 16-bit and I still receive that
same error message. My question is, how do I get the game to work?

Thanks for all your help.

I am planning to buy that one next. Which version of XP? Which video
card? Latest video drivers?
