Changing from 256-Color Mode

One reason for the picutures to look bad is when your computer is using only 256 different colors to show the pictures. Change your computer to use more colors and the pictures will look much better.

Windows 95 Directions:

Press Start
Settings
Control Panel
double-click Display
Settings tab
Change "color palette" from "256 color" to "High Color" or "True Color".
If your "color palette" is already set to one of these then you don't have to change it.
Press "OK" button.

Macintosh Directions:

Sorry, I don't know the proper method for changing colors on the mac. Anyone want to help me out? Send us the directions.
