I've had this problem for weeks and only just found this website (which is a great help btw) well the problem is that everytime i click on an msn icon wiether its on the desktop or in the start up all programs list the colour display will automatically change to 8bit colour. I would have to manually change it back to 32bit colour. This happens everytime and whats wierd is that i never had the option of 8bit colour in the first place (only 16 and 32) and once i change it back to 32bit colour mode the 8bit colour mode is not even there.
