Presario CDS633 Does Not Support 16- or 24-Bit Color Palette (128015)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q128015 SYMPTOMS
If you are using a Compaq Presario CDS633 and you select the High Color (16-
bit) or True Color (24-bit) color palette in the property sheet for the
display, the system falls back to Standard VGA and prompts you to choose
another display setting. The 16-bit and 24-bit color palettes are still
shown as available but you cannot implement them.
CAUSE
Although Windows 95 correctly detects the Tseng ET4000/W32 chip set in the
built-in display circuitry of the CDS633, the video BIOS in this system
does not provide support for these display modes.
RESOLUTION
Choose the 16 Color or 256 Color color palette. You may want to contact
Compaq for information about a possible video BIOS upgrade, or install a
display adapter that fully supports the display mode you want to use.
MORE INFORMATION
High Color is a 16-bit display mode that supports a 65,536-color palette.
True Color is a 24-bit display mode that supports up to 16.7 million
colors.
