re: Question about 'Windows keeps forgetting simple settings, such as screen colors!' Thursday, March 7, 2002 at 7:28 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Brian (1 messages posted) Frankly, I don't think you're doing -anything- wrong; I think it's a hardware limitation. On my Sony VAIO, I've noticed that to use the external monitor I need to reduce color depth to 16 bits. My -->GUESS<-- is that the video memory is inadequate to handle 2 monitors at 32-bit color. It's a legitimate annoyance, but for me it's livable.
