reformat XP home .. no 32?

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

I reformatted a friends computer with her xp home edition - everything
seemed to go ok...however, now the properties only have 16 and not 32bit so
we can only get 640 resolution - can someone tell me what I did wrong? how
do we get the 32 back?

thanks!
