Thanks for the reply Lt. But as far as I know I can't set the color depth
in the game's options menu. There's a possibility to change resolution,
hardware/software mode, and to switch "turbo" on/off. Or does the game
"inherrit" Windows' color depth? BTW yes it's a great game, isn't it? It's
definately my latest and so far worst addiction ;-)

Bye!
