Changing the number of colors your monitor can display

Most modern computer displays allow you to select how many colors they will display, so if you are currently displaying only 256 colors, then you can probably alter your display settings to allow more colors to be displayed.

Warning: It is not recommended that you try the following unless you are proficient in the use of Windows, and able to deal with potential problems caused by changing the display driver. For further assistance, you should contact your computer dealer, or a qualified Windows instructor.

>> To select a greater color depth for your display

1.Exit from Solar Fire

2.From the Windows "Control Panel", select the Display icon

3.Click on the Settings tab (in Windows 7 click on Change Display Settings, then on Advanced Settings, then on the Monitor tab)

4.Select a color setting from the Color Palette or Colors drop-down box

Note: If you do not exit from Solar Fire before changing color depth, then some colors may be displayed incorrectly. If so, you should exit from Solar Fire and then start it up again. This will clear the problem.
