I think I'm right in saying that the last value in a resoloution is the color depth (640 x 480 x 32) Right, this has been going on for ages with my new PC. Vice City can run 640 x 480 x 32 fine. But anything above that, it's always x 16 and not x 32. The res I'm at now is 1280 x 960 x 16. Any ideas?

What GFX card do you got ?

XFX GeForce 6600GT

That's odd, it might not be your Gfx card, monitors have most input on screen resolutions.

Also, x16 isn't really too much different from x32.

yeah it is lol, at least to me, its likely your monitor or bad video drivers.

Well is there a way to force the game to run in 32?

Right click on dekstop > Settings > Advanced > [Name of your Gcard tab in top right] > Screen resolutions & Refresh rate > add

and then just add rhe resolution, it will say:

Width: |1440| pixels
Height: |900| Pixels
Colour quality: |32 bit|

(You edit/change the parts that have | [shit] | )

I had the same problem in SA. Update your drivers from nvidia:

Btw: the 6600 GT is an awesome card, best bang for the buck!

I'm about to download the drivers and if that doesn't work, try Simon's method. If that doesn't work, I have a fucked monitor.

My method will work 100% without any issues...and you're going to install new drivers stupid decision if it goes wrong.
