Color display problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

When I start my computer I have clouds as my background,they are gray and
white, the pictures on the internet ect. are all faded and the colors that
are there are not true. I have tried to set the colors on settings from 16 to
256 and clicked apply but when I restart the computer they are back at 16
colors, I just want my color back! I am a flusterated Granny! Help

Been there, done that and still only have 32 colors. What happened to true
color?
