Can't run above 8 bit
4 messages in this thread
Just got the Multimdedia Madness book last weekend and was wondering why I
can't run Nautilus with my 16 bit or 24 bit driver installed. It runs fine
when I have my 8 bit/256 color driver installed. Above that my computer
just crashes. This might not be suprising considering that I have the
dreaded 24X graphics card installed. Is this a known problem? Brent
I have a Reveal 24 bit card with the same problem. Ask your card
manufacturer if they have a driver update that will work. Some 24 bit
drivers choke on 256 color graphics because of their Windows driver.
Brent:
Just to let you know that it's possible, I'm running Nautilus in 24
bit X 1024 X 768 on a TIGA based card. Is your card TIGA or S3? Do you
have the latest Windows drivers

99.9999% of the time (I won't admit to 100%, but it's never failed yet) the
problem you are describing is solved with an updated video driver. Don't
ask me why, but if there's a problem in someone's video driver, Nautilus
will find it. Unfortunate, but solve-able…
