You might want to post this question in an appropriate Windows NG, but I
would guess that if you don't have any choice but 16, then you need to
update either the video card or the driver.

I tried method 3 and I could not change the color depth...it stayed on 16.
Method 2 did not apply because I am using Windows 2000, I installed a
display
driver and I am still having the same problem. I received the same
response
from another person that responded. Is there a way to do option 3....The
only options for color were 16 and 16..Thank you.

When trying to type in Word or space in a Word document, a blackened
area
appears. When scrolling down, the box disappears. Just installed a
new
Microsoft Office.
