Adjusting the color quality setting in Windows XP may be necessary to resolve issues with the color display on monitors and other output devices like projectors.
Here’s How:
- Navigate to the Control Panel by left-clicking on Start, followed by Settings and then choosing Control Panel.
- In the Control Panel window, open Display.
Note: Depending on how Windows XP is setup on your system, you may not see the Display icon. To correct this, click on the link on the left-hand side of the Control Panel window that says Switch to Classic View.
- In the Display Properties window, click on the Settings tab.
- Locate the Color quality drop down box on the right-hand side of the window. Under most circumstances, the best choice is the highest “bit” available. Generally, this will be the Highest (32 bit) option.
Note: Some types of software require the color quality settings to be set at a lower rate than suggested above. If you receive errors when opening certain software titles be sure to make any changes here as necessary.
- Click the OK or Apply button to confirm the changes. If prompted, follow any additional on screen directions.
