I have installed vpc and within that I have installed winxp. I installed my
imaging photo program in winxp because it would not run in vista. it is a
32bit
Now when I try to use it the colors change to 4 bit. I then go to control
panel and change it to 32bit but it doesn't change. How can I run this
program correctly?

I am trying to use an old Adobe Photo Deluxe 2.0. It worked perfect in my
windows xp in my old computer. I only installed vpc so that I could use this
program. It isn't supported by Adobe anymore. Right now I am also connected
to my old pc running win xpsp2 and the program runs fine.???

It could very well be the imaging program itself. The video card
emulated is a Trio-S3 card and it only has 8Mb of RAM. The RAM can be
increased to 16Mb by editing the VMC file (it is in XML) and changing 8
to 16. I don't know if this will solve your problem though. What
imaging program are you using? I have used Ulead PhotoImpact
successfully, but only version 4.0. Any higher and the colors begin to
"wash out".

True enough, but I bet your video card in the old XP machine was a bit
more robust than a Trio-S3.

You need to get that, the latest VPC additions need XP SP3 to work
correctly most of the time.

Chances are that the "imaging photo program" tries to access the video
graphics system in a way thta is not supported by the *emulated* video
card inside the virtual machine.
No matter what hardware you have in the physical host PC inside the
virtual machine you will only get a rather mediocre (for game, video
and image manipulation) S3 Trio64 graphics card with 8 Mb of RAM
(possible to increase to 16 Mb)....

I have discovered that when I open Adobe Photo Deluxe then go to the control
panel and settings and change the 8bit to 32bit, I get a message that if I
want than configuration to click yes. That makes the program work correctly.
The next time I use the program I have to go thru it all again. Maybe this
the only solution.
