Color Depth Limitations After Upgrading to Windows 2000 with a Permedia2 Video Adapter (228278)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
This article was previously published under Q228278 SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows 2000 from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, you lose the ability to choose a color depth of 15 bits per pixel (BPP) if you are using a Permedia2-based video adapter from 3Dlabs. Other color depths are allowable (such as 256 colors and 16 BPP).
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use a different color depth than 15 BPP, such as 256 colors or 16 BPP.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
A fresh installation of Windows 2000 does not allow for a color depth of 15 BPP.
