The number of color quality options offered depends on several factors,
the most important being the capabilities of the computer's video
adapter and its drivers. Other factors include the capabilities of the
monitor and its drivers (if any), the chosen screen resolution, and the
chosen monitor refresh rate.

What specific video adapter do you have, and have you downloaded and
installed the most recent WinXP device drivers from the manufacturers
web site?


What specific monitor are you using? What are your resolution and
refresh rate set to? Are these within the monitor's acceptable
parameters (check its manual)?
