Many people with the same problem here. I have scoured the net and came up with a solution that worked for me. I hope this helps you all. I recently installed a new nvidia driver 71.84 for a ti4400 and then rebooted only to find that I had a 4 bit display with no option to increase to 16 or 32 bits. I installed 4 previous driver versions thinking they would work at some point. Finnally I searched the net for 4 bit display only on google and found that if the monitor driver is not correct, higher resolution display settings will not be available. I checked my monitor driver and found it was the generic plug and play driver. I updated the driver and told it that I would choose the driver. I pointed to the folder my driver was in for my gateway ev910c monitor and installed the driver. I rebooted and had 32bit diplay settings available. Boy I hope this helps! Colin
