b Warrior Member # 656	written Saturday, January 18 2003 20:35 Profile Homepage #0 help! I'm having a problem with e1 and e2 where I can't play them. When I get on the game it says that the game will look strange because I have less that 256 colors. Then when I click ok instead of continuing the screen goes black. What's weird is that I am running in a lot more that 256 colors (32 bit true color) Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it (e3 works fine) Posts: 127 | Registered: Wednesday, February 20 2002 08:00

Mindspark Lifecrafter Member # 1360	written Tuesday, January 21 2003 18:48 Profile #3 That's weird. That usually only happens to me when I'm set at 16-bit color. Unfortunately, my new computer can only show 16-bit and 32-bit coloring. Posts: 901 | Registered: Monday, June 24 2002 07:00

Sir Motrax of Exile Senile Reptile Member # 547	written Wednesday, January 22 2003 09:46 Profile #5 Something similar happened to me a while ago. It's a problem that can't really be fixed. Email Jeff about reinstalling registered copies (if you did indeed register the game). He'll tell you everything you need to know. If you don't have the game registered, just download it again. Jeff's email is spidweb@spidweb.com. Include your name with the email so he can find you in his magical list of registered people. Surprisingly, I had this problem with Exile 3. The graphic programming is probably similar with all the games. I run them with 32-bit Trucolor and they work fine, so emailing Jeff is the best thing to do if you are registered, and reinstalling is best otherwise. That was long-winded. I am a dragon though... so I guess that's ok. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1614 | Registered: Wednesday, January 23 2002 08:00

Change your monitor to "Play And Play Monitor" under Cnotrol Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/Monitor. Restart the computer and then try again. 2. Download an updated version of Display adapter and/or monitor. -------------------- "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.-Luke 23:34 Posts: 329 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00

Yeah, you're right... :) (You know, Windows is NOT case-sensitive.) EDIT: Oops, I get what you're saying now. That "Play and Play" was a typo. :D [ Monday, January 27, 2003 12:08: Message edited by: y0d1n2a3 ] -------------------- "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.-Luke 23:34 Posts: 329 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00
