Truckeye, I think what Bel was getting at was the fact that if that is an older monitor and you're on a new PC, then sometimes the drivers that translate the little bitty bits of data to display may need to be updated, especially possible if you changed your operating system... i.e. from ? to XP. Sometimes it is as simple as going into my computer, display and changing the color settings there. I have seen goofy things happen that sometimes defy explanation.

Try 800x600 16 bit, and see if it makes any difference.:)

No problem, as technology increases it tends to leave older coded games behind when it comes too graphics. Forcing us to readjust our settings to make due. Try tinkering with the display settings you may find some higher resolutions 1280x1024 32bit may look good too.
