Right-click the link you use to launch the game (desktop icon or the All
Programs listing) and select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab,
and you'll see the option for 256 colors in the Display settings section.
Just for less interference, you might also put a check mark in "Disable
visual themes" while you're there. This only applies to the particular
program, as does the color setting, not the entire operating system.

Hi Abbs
You can set it on a per program basis by right clicking on the programs
shortcut and selecting properties. Then on the compatibility tab, check 'run
in 256 colours'.

Right click on the program icon, and go to 'properties', up will come a new
window, click on the 'compatibility tab at the top, then check the box 'run
in 256 colours'.

Here is what you have to do. This info comes from the Help
and Support centre.
To switch your display to 256 colors
Some games and other software programs require that your
monitor be set to 256 colors, or they run better in 256
colors. Many of those programs will switch your monitor to
256 colors automatically when you start the program. For
those that don't, follow the steps below if you want to
switch the display temporarily while the game or program is
running.
On your desktop or on the Start menu, right-click the game
or other program that you want to run in 256 colors, and
then click Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab.
Select the Run in 256 colors check box.
Notes
The screen will revert to your default color quality when
you close the program.
Try switching to 256 colors if your software program shows
the wrong color or the graphics redraw slowly.
If your software program appears in a small window in the
center of your screen, you can increase its size by
changing your screen resolution temporarily. Follow the
procedure above, but in step 3 select the Run in 640x480
screen resolution check box. Your screen resolution will
revert to its previous resolution when you close the program.
The Compatibility tab is available only for programs or
games located on your computer's hard disk. It is not
available if the program is stored on a floppy disk,
compact disk, or a network.
