It sounds like you do not have the correct display drivers installed for your video
card.

My computer only displays 16 colors. When I go to Start-Settings-Control
Panel and then to Display-Settings, I try to change the colors to 256 colors.
The computer asks me if I want to restart the computer and it doesn't matter
whether I restart it or not, the colors don't change. Can anyone help me?
