    How do I change the display settings to 256 Colors in MS Vista?

    The only options give under the display settings are 16bit and 32 bit.

    I am trying to install a game for my daughter.

    Thank You

    might post this in microsoft.public.windows.vista.games too, but which game
    are you trying to install?

    Vista disables 256 color mode by default, but if you right-click on the
    install file, select properties, then the Compatibility Tab there should be
    an option to run in 256 color mode, though I don't know of many games where
    setting your system to 256 color mode will fix the installation program.

    Good luck,
    Andy.
