- Microsoft Pandora's Box
This article was previously published under Q240987
SYMPTOMS
When you play Microsoft Pandora's Box, the colors on the screen may briefly become distorted when you start or quit the game, or when you switch to or from different programs.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if an older video adapter is installed in your computer, and the Microsoft Windows color palette setting is set to 256 colors.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, increase the Windows color palette setting. To do this:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click Display.
- Click the Settings tab.
- In the Colors or Color Palette box, click High Color (16 bit), True Color (24 bit), or True Color (32 bit), and then click OK.
NOTE: If none of these settings is available, your video adapter does not support higher color palette settings.
- If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.
If the issue continues to occur, contact the manufacturer of your video adapter to inquire about how to obtain and install the latest version of the video driver for your video adapter, or consider purchasing a new, DirectX-compatible video adapter.
