xp color depth
How can I make xp default to 16b color? Any time I switch resolutions the damn box keeps coming up with 32b. I only use windows for pt/poker so don't know what surely must be a simple cfg change - registry edit? Control panel? Some admin GUI? I've looked under props which shows me available depths but nothing to force this POS to quit using 32b as the default.

It shows the max color depth your hardware supports as the default.

But if you want it for some strange reason use a program called powerstrip. It lets you customize alot of diffrent modes and easy to switch between them via systray. http://www.entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm

Whether the map is video RAM or sys RAM doesn't matter since trucolor is >> 2x what's needed for pt/poker software. Thanks much for the app... Mike

Re: xp color depth
In powerstrip, whatever you set it to is what it will boot in. This fixes your problem.
