No True Color On XP Pro?

[Guest]

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

For some reason in my color settings menu I have no option for True Color. Is
there a way to get True Color(32bit) for Windows XP Professional?

This has nothing to do with what Windows XP can do. If that
choice isn't presented to you, either you don't have enough video
memory to run true color at the resolution you want to run at, or
you don't have the proper video driver installed.

If you don't see this option, you probably don't have the proper (or newest)
video drivers installed. Please tell us the model of video card or whether
you have "integrated graphics".

My Display Adapter is a:
Intel(r) 82810 Graphics Controller
How do I find its MB amount?

Hi,

Reinstall or update your display drivers.

This is no longer being supported,have you considered buying an AGP vid card
yours seems to be incorparated in the MB? You don't need to buy the latest
and greatest to have a great picture.
(gamers exculded of course).
Have you ever had 32 bit with this?

When you boot up your computer they would usually show your Display Adapter
type and Memory on it.

What is your display resolution set at?

How much RAM do you have allocated for the integrated video?
Hint: If you look at Control Panel - System - General it will show you
how much RAM is available to Windows, after the video has been
deducted.

You can get the latest updated video drivers from the motherboard
manufacturer's (= computer manufacturer in some instances) web site or
you can try the generic 82810 drivers from the Intel web site
(www.intel.com)

Good luck
