Dear Virtual-box forum,
I recently made a virtual computer (xp) on my vista
and installed everything,everything seemed to be fine,
until I wanted to start a program (Game). Virtual-box said
I had to change the color bits from 32 to 16 or from 16 to 32.
I can't remember from what to what. But my question is "How Do
I change this?!". I'm not that good with computers so I hope
for explanation with easy talk.
With Friendly Regards,
Smissen

Re: Changing Bit in Windows Xp?
If VB gave you a message about the colour depth, then you can ignore it. It's made to display colours in 32 bit, but if the program (game in this case) runs in full screen and can't use that many colours, but it can use 16 bit instead, it will output with that and VB will give a message about that. You can ignore that.
