Hello chaps - have a friend who needs to run software which won't install or run on his win XPhome OS as it needs to utilise a display of 256 colours. Settings for the display will only allow 16bit or 32bit. Any ideas how to overcome this at all?

Thanx in anti..... (long word too hard to spel) :eek:

Use the program compatibility wizard.

Info here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/appcompat.mspx) on Microsoft's site - they think of everything don't they :eek:
